Derek Thomas: Christ and Him Resurrected

Each Sunday we remember that Christ is risen, but how often do we reflect on the significance of the resurrection? The Apostle Paul clearly said that if Christ is not risen our faith is in vain. In this session, Dr. Derek Thomas will explain the meaning and import of Christ's resurrection and how it is related to our resurrection.

Matthew 22:29Jesus replied, “You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God. 30At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven. 31But about the resurrection of the dead—have you not read what God said to you, 32‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’b ? He is not the God of the dead but of the living.”

Acts 5:35Then he addressed the Sanhedrin: “Men of Israel, consider carefully what you intend to do to these men. 36Some time ago Theudas appeared, claiming to be somebody, and about four hundred men rallied to him. He was killed, all his followers were dispersed, and it all came to nothing. 37After him, Judas the Galilean appeared in the days of the census and led a band of people in revolt. He too was killed, and all his followers were scattered. 38Therefore, in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone! Let them go! For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail. 39But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God.”
Not to be another case of 'end of story'.

Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days."
