Previous Lesson -- Next Lesson TOPIC 8: CHRIST - What do You Think About Christ?
An Introduction to the Life, Power and Love of Christ
7. Do You Understand Christ's Victory Over Death?Christ truly died and was buried in a tomb, hewn out of solid rock. His enemies placed a huge stone at the door of the tomb and sealed it with the seal of the greatest nation of the time, so that his disciples would not be able to steal the body at night. They also set up armoured guards before the door of the tomb. But after three days, Christ arose from the dead and came out of the tomb. His disciples afterwards found it empty. They were astonished and fearful, trembling when they met the living Christ, because they thought that he was a ghost. But he talks to them with kind words and showed them the scars from the nails in his hands and feet. He ate in front of them and allowed them to touch him so that they could become convinced that he truly rose and that he had a real body. All the prophets and messengers of God died. Their remains are still in their graves, crumbles and disintegrated. But Christ is alive, victorious over death. Do you understand the meaning of Christ's resurrection from the dead? The almighty God proved with this great deed that he loves the crucified one, accepting his sacrifice on the cross for the world. |
