Matthew 8:23-27

Jesus cleanses the Temple complex of all the activity that no longer makes it a place of worship but a place of trade. In doing so, he indicates that he has the authority to act. But the Jews want to know how he has come to have this authority, and what sign he will do to authenticate it. The only sign Jesus gives is that he will die and rise again.

John 2:13-25

We can face any challenges, setbacks, sins, dangers, trials, and persecutions because Jesus has risen from the dead. Although we may feel as if we've been given more than we can endure, it was only to become less self-reliant and more God-reliant. After all our God raises the dead, therefore, trust Him to get you through your hardships!

2 Corinthians 1:8-10

Since Jesus has been raised from the dead, we are perpetually hopeful people. The resurrection of Jesus means he is still alive, and since our hope is in him, our hope is a living one!

1 Peter 1:3-5

The resurrection guarantees us that we will inherit new bodies in the resurrection that will be like Jesus' glorious body—never to decay, die, or be susceptible to disease. We will be imperishable and immortal in the New Creation!

1 Corinthians 15:35-49

Since Jesus has been raised from the dead, we have nothing to fear on the last day and final judgment. We shall be resurrected to eternal life since we have been justified and our sins forgiven through Christ!

John 6:35-40; 5:24-29
