The Resurrection

​Introduction:
 

         1. In Matthew 25 Jesus presented some instruction to help us be prepared for His return.
         2. In vs.31-32 He indirectly tied in the resurrection with His return when He said that
             "all nations" will appear before Him.
         3. This lesson is a more thorough study of "the resurrection."
         4. The first point we need to make is that . . .

Discussion:

I.           THE  RESURRECTION  HAS  BEEN  A  MISUNDERSTOOD  BIBLE  SUBJECT

         A. Many have denied that the resurrection will occur.
             1. The Sadducees did not believe in the resurrection (Acts 23:8).
             2. Some in the Corinthian church did not believe in the resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:12).
         B. Some have said that the resurrection has already occurred (2 Timothy 2:16-18).
         C. An objective careful study of the Scriptures will clear up any confusion that exists.

II.          THE  BIBLE  TEACHES  THAT  GOD  WILL  RAISE  THE  DEAD

         A. John 5:21, 25
         B. Romans 4:17; 8:11
         C. 1 Corinthians 6:14
         D. 2 Corinthians 1:9; 4:14

III.         THE  BIBLE  REVEALS  WHEN  THE  RESURRECTION  WILL  OCCUR

         A. The Scriptures teach that the resurrection will occur at the last day.
             1. John 6:39-40, 44, 54
             2. John 11:24
         B. The resurrection will precede the judgment that will occur when Jesus returns.
             1. John 5:28-29
             2. 1 Thessalonians 4:16
             3. Revelation 20:12-13

IV.         ADDITIONAL  DETAILS  RELATING  TO  THE  RESURRECTION

         A. The resurrection will include "the just and the unjust" (Acts 24:14-15).
         B. From 1 Corinthians 15 we learn that:
             1. there is no reason for hope if there is no resurrection (vs.13-19)
             2. our hope of being raised from the dead is based on the Lord's resurrection
                 (vs.20-23, 3-8)
             3. the resurrected body will be a spiritual body which pleases God
                 (vs.35-44; also Philippians 3:20-21).
         C. Looking forward to the resurrection should affect the way we live (Philippians 3:8-16).
