THE NATURE OF RESURRECTION1 - WITHOUT DEATH, THERE IS NO NEED FOR RESURRECTION.Genesis 2:16-17 - And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.” Psalm 19:7-11 - The law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul. The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple. The precepts of the Lord are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the Lord are radiant, giving light to the eyes. The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever. The decrees of the Lord are firm, and all of them are righteous. They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the honeycomb. By them your servant is warned; in keeping them there is great reward. Psalm 119:9 - How can a young person stay on the path of purity? By living according to your word. John 15:3 - You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. 2 - WHAT GIVES POWER TO DEATH IS SIN.John 10:18 - No one can take my life from me. I sacrifice it voluntarily. For I have the authority to lay it down when I want to and also to take it up again. For this is what my Father has commanded. 1 Corinthians 15:55-57 - “O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” For sin is the sting that results in death, and the law gives sin its power. But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ. He is the Word of God incarnate - making this declaration:I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFETHE NEED FOR RESURRECTION1) MARTHAJohn 11:1 - 1 Now a man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. John 11:3-5 - 3 So the sisters sent word to Jesus, “Lord, the one you love is sick.” 4 When he heard this, Jesus said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God’s glory so that God’s Son may be glorified through it.” 5 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. John 11:17 - 17 On his arrival, Jesus found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days.John 11:20-28John 11:38-44DEADNESS OF UNDERSTANDINGProverbs 3:51 Corinthians 13:12Proverbs 21:2 Matthew 10:41Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life to UNDERSTANDING2) MARYJohn 11:1-5John 11:17John 11:20John 11:28-29John 11:32-34DEADNESS OF FAITHLuke 10:39Hebrews 10:38Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life to FAITH3) THE DISCIPLESJohn 11:1John 11:6-16DEADNESS OF REVELATIONMark 4:35-41Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life to REVELATION4) THE JEWSJohn 11:1John 11:17-19John 11:28-29John 11:31John 11:32-37John 11:38John 11:41-46DEADNESS OF BELIEFJohn 1:12-13Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life to BELIEF5) LAZARUSJohn 11:1John 11:3-4John 11:11 - 11John 11:17 - 17John 11:38-39John 11:43-44DEADNESS OF LIFERomans 11:29Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life to LIFEHebrews 9:27John 11:25-26Hebrews 3:15
