Bible Reading: Psalm 121 “I look up to the mountains—does my help come from there? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth! ³ He will not let you stumble; the one who watches over you will not slumber. Indeed, he who watches over Israel never slumbers or sleeps. The Lord himself watches over you! The Lord stands beside you as your protective shade.The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon at night.

The Lord keeps you from all harm and watches over your life. The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever.” (NLT)

Text: 1 Corinthians 15:1-8

The Resurrection of Christ is the basis for all of Christianity. Without the resurrection, nothing really matters. It is the foundation of our faith.

Three Fake News Items:

#1—The Swoon Theory

            A Flagrum—

            Simon, a Cyrenian (Mark 15:21-22)

            Certified by a Roman Centurion to be dead (Mark 15:44-45)

#2—The Wrong Tomb Theory

            The women

            Peter & John

            An angel

            A known tomb

            A secured tomb

#3—The Stolen Body Theory

            Matthew 28:11-15

The TRUTH is that Jesus died and was resurrected on the THIRD DAY, according to the Scriptures. He was resurrected to save you, not to condemn you. He was resurrected to set you free from sin, from guilt, from shame, from disease and from death. He was resurrected so you could have a rich and satisfying like, both here on the earth and with Him through eternity.
