1 Corinthians 15:25, For he must reign until he puts all his enemies under his feet.

Romans 6:11, So, you too consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.

Reflection:

The resurrection of Jesus impacts our present life of a believer with two truths:

- We are Dead to Sin

- We are Alive in Christ

• What does it mean that we are dead to sin?

• How can you pray, flee from sin, and abide in Christ as you hear the shouts of the enemy?

Focus verses:

1 Corinthians 15:17, And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins.

Reflection:

The resurrection of Jesus had to happen, or else Christianity falls apart. There are four basic evidences for the resurrection:

1) Jesus Died

2) The Tomb was Empty

3) Jesus Appeared to 500+ people

4) The Disciples Lives were Radically Changed

• How does the evidence for the resurrection change your life?

Focus verses:

1 Corinthians 15:3-4, 3 For I passed on to you as most important what I also received: 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.

Reflection:

The Resurrection is necessary for the Gospel to be Good News. By the grace of God, the resurrection illuminates the glory of Jesus, transforms us from dead to alive, and restores us back into His image.

Why Did Jesus Have to Die?

Easter Midweek

Focus verses:

Luke 24:25-27, 25 He said to them, “How foolish and slow you are to believe all that the prophets have spoken! 26 Wasn’t it necessary for the Messiah to suffer these things and enter into his glory?” 27 Then beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted for them the things concerning himself in all the Scriptures.

Reflection:

Jesus’ death was necessary. In his death, God appeals to His Love for His creation in a way that does not compromise His holiness and justice.

What does this mean?

• Your sin is forgiven through the death of Jesus.

• Jesus’s death is final.

• Allow the power of the cross to transform you.

• Praise Jesus for his death.
