Christ Died For Our Sins According To The Scriptures, He Was Buried, He Was Raised On The Third Day According To The Scriptures


Christ Died For Our Sins According To The Scriptures,
He Was Buried,
He Was Raised On The Third Day According To The Scriptures
Scripture
1 Corinthians 15
3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
John 19
18 There they nailed him to the cross. Two others were crucified with him, one on either side, with Jesus between them.19 And Pilate posted a sign on the cross that read, “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.”
Romans 8
11 The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.
Observation
The God's message of the Bible is wrapped up in 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 … it is the Gospel in a nutshell! Jesus died for me! And He died for you! He died to pay the penalty for our sins! Then on the third day – He arose! He is alive!
The very same Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you … if … you have surrendered your life to Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior! Have you placed your faith and your trust in Jesus Christ?
Dr. Waylon B. Moore shared this thought with our men's group this past Wednesday evening, “Think about this he said, “Every person that has ever been born not a single one of them will ever die … once you are born you never die, you will live forever … forever either in Heaven or Hell.”
Where will you spend eternity?
Application
I will continue to point people to Jesus because I realize that their eternal destiny hangs in the balance. How about you?
Prayer
Heavenly Father, help me to see people with Your eyes. Help me to see them as sheep without a shepherd. Burden me with what burdens You. I pray that during this Easter season many will put their trust and faith in Jesus Christ. Open up their spiritual hearts. Give them understanding of the truth of the Gospel. Help them to see their need for a Savior.
