The Story of Jesus
Jesus' Resurrection

(Lesson 15)

Introduction:
 

         1. To help us grow in our knowledge of Christ (2 Peter 3:18), we are studying "The Story of Jesus"
             as it is revealed in the Scriptures (John 5:39).
         2. This lesson is a study of "Jesus' resurrection."
         3. Let us first point out that . . .

Discussion:


I.           JESUS'  RESURRECTION  IS  A  SIGNIFICANT  EVENT


         A. The Lord's resurrection was prophesied in:
             1. Psalm 16:8-11 (Acts 2:25-31)
             2. Isaiah 53:9-10.
         B. Jesus' resurrection is a proof of His divinity (Romans 1:1-4).
         C. Jesus' resurrection is an important part of the Gospel (1 Corinthians 15:1-4).
         D. If Jesus was not resurrected, we have no hope (1 Corinthians 15:13-19).
         E. Because the Lord's resurrection is such a significant event, let us turn our attention to . . .

II.          THE  DETAILS  OF  JESUS'  RESURRECTION


         A. The details of the Lord's resurrection are recorded in:
             1. Matthew 28:1-8
             2. Mark 16:1-8
             3. Luke 24:1-12
             4. John 20:1-10.
         B. After convincing Pilate to secure the Lord's tomb (Matthew 27:62-66), the Jewish leaders bribed
             the soldiers who guarded the tomb (Matthew 28:11-15).
         C. Despite this effort to deny that Jesus was raised, many witnesses saw Him after His resurrection
             [the following is not a complete list].
             1. Jesus appeared first to Mary Magdalene (Mark 16:9-11; John 20:11-18).
             2. Jesus appeared to Cleopas and a companion (Luke 24:13-31).
             3. Jesus appeared numerous times to the apostles during the 40-day period that followed His
                 resurrection (Acts 1:1-3).
             4. In addition to the apostles, Jesus appeared to others (1 Corinthians 15:5-8).
