The Resurrection of Jesus Christ: Part One by Dr. Rod Mattoon

About this sermon

Luke 24:36-40... And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. 37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit 38 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? 39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. 40 And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet. In PART ONE of this message, we take a look at the sudden appearance of Jesus in the midst of the disciples after He arose from the dead and glean importance insights of this event as well as the importance of the Resurrection to the Christian. Thank God for the resurrection of Jesus and the encouragement it provides for those who are Christians. Because He arose, we will be raised by Him, too. The resurrection impacts us several ways. * It gives a widow courage as she stands next to the fresh grave of her husband. * It gives hope to the crippled, the abused, the amputated, or burned that there is hope in their future. * It provides encouragement to parents who have children that are physically handicapped or suffer brain damage. * It helps us all to see beyond the martyrdom of a devoted missionary or pastor. * It provides comfort and peace to parents who grieve over the death of their child or dear friends. * It gives peace when facing great danger. We take an important look at the story of Jonah and its importance in the teachings about the Resurrection. We also address the two resurrections that are mentioned in the Scriptures. This message was preached on Easter morning, April 20, 2025, at Lincoln Land Baptist Church.
