Friday: Christ’s Promise

Proper evangelism, proper missionary work, proper Christian activity is to go out with the Gospel, win men and women to Christ, and bring them into the fellowship of the church where they are then taught the things that are found in the Scripture. Christianity is a full-orbed doctrine and approach t

Thursday: Obeying the Great Commission

It’s easy to look back to the resurrection on Easter Sunday and say how marvelous it is that Jesus rose from the dead two thousand years ago, and then go home to your dinner and leave it at that. But if Jesus rose, and if He is the Lord that His resurrection declares Him to be, this is the Lord who

Wednesday: Christ’s Command

Jesus is the King of kings and the Lord of lords. His authority transcends all other authority. Now there are other legitimate authorities as well and we're instructed to recognize them. There is the authority of the state. There is the authority of parents. There is the authority of church officers

Now as we look at this commission, we see three parts to it. First, there is an announcement of Christ's authority, which we find in verse 18: "All authority is given unto me in heaven and in earth." Second, we find a command: "Go ye therefore and teach [make disciples of] all nations, baptizing the

Monday: Sharing the Message

In nearly every case where the Lord Jesus Christ appeared to someone after His resurrection, He gave them instructions to take the message to someone else. For instance, when He appeared to Mary Magdelene in the garden, Mary didn’t recognize Jesus at first. But when He spoke her name, she recognized

This leads me to the fourth and last point, which is the word “tell.” There's a wonderful sequence to these four words. If we come, if we see that the tomb is empty, if we are commissioned to go, then it is inevitable that we must have a message to tell. Good news must be told. If we don't tell it,

Now we've looked at two of the words of the angel’s message. We've looked at the invitation to come and the imperative to see. We’ve seen some of what that implies for us. The third word is “go” (v. 7). It’s a reminder that, blessed as it may be to stay near the tomb, nevertheless there is still wor

At the end of yesterday’s study, we gave two reasons why we should see the tomb. Today, we consider three more.The third reason we should come and see the tomb is that we might be reminded that we also will lie there. Unless the Lord Jesus Christ comes for His own before we die, we too must die. Th

Or again, there was the edict of Rome. The tomb had been sealed by Pilate's order. The soldiers were stationed at the tomb in order to guard it. Now, something had happened: the stone had been removed, and that meant that the seal had been broken, and Rome had been disobeyed. The women might have sa

Death involves every part of our being. When God said to Adam in the garden, “You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, because the day that you eat of it you will surely die,” the man ate of it and died. He died in every part of his being. He had a spirit and a s

We may be weak and utterly helpless, unable to resist temptation for a single minute. But He is strong, and He lives to give help and deliverance in every moment of our days.

Second, the resurrection of Jesus Christ proves the deity of our Lord.
