  1. Then Sunday Came… “Besides all this, this is the third day since these things happened.” Luke 24:21

  2. Jesus Lay Dead His enemies celebrated their victory. His devoted followers mourned and wept. They met to embalm His body.

  3. Unfulfilled Prophecies Job said, “For I know that my Redeemer lives.” Job 14:14. King David prophesied His resurrection Jesus Himself prophesied His resurrection

  4. Jesus Spoke Openly He had angered the Jews with His prophecy. They said, “Sir, we remember …” – Matthew 27: 63 He had boldly spoken of His resurrection John 10:17, 18 He had told his 12 Disciples of His coming death and resurrection Matthew and Mark

  5. Three Days of Waiting The Jews were very nervous. They requested security. The seal of the Roman empire was affixed to the stone of His tomb. Roman guards stood watch.

  6. The Great King Every orthodox Israelite believed in a coming kingdom ruled by a descendant of David. They were convinced Jesus was the long promised king. (John 6:15) His disciples did not “listen” to his statements about His coming death, and resurrection.

  7. Disheartened Followers There had been such great expectations “But we were hoping that it was He who was going to redeem Israel… Luke 24:21 Paul wrote: “And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile…” 1st Corinthians 14:14

  8. Death Was Not Enough Apostle Paul stated the three elements of the saving gospel: “…that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, And that He was buried, And that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures.” 1st Corinthians 15:4.

  9. Then Sunday Came… The earth shook The stone covering the door was flung away The tomb was empty! The Angel said: “Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen.”

  10. The Third Day Jesus was alive! The claims of Jesus were substantiated. The prophecies were fulfilled The enemies were defeated The followers were filled with joy. Salvation was complete and available.

  11. What Will You Do With Jesus? Reject Him as most of Israel? Or Receive Him by faith as millions have done? “You ask me how I know He lives He lives within my heart.”
