Luke 24 beginning in verse 1
He says upon the first day of the week very early in the morning. They came into the sculpture bringing them spices, which they had prepared and certain others with them and they found the stone rolled away from the Sepulchre and they entered in and found not the body of the Lord Jesus and it came to pass as they were much perplexed. Thereabout behold two men stood by them in shining garments.
And there’s they were afraid and bow down their faces to the Earth. They said unto them why seek ye the living among the dead he is not there here, but is risen remember how I expect him to you when he was yet in Galilee saying the son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and the third day rise again.

The apostles preached on Jesus and the resurrection if you recall and when Paul was in Athens in a city among holy given to idols and certain philosophers who acquired who he was and some replied in Acts 17 verse 18.
He seems to be a Setter fourth of strange Gods because he preached unto them Jesus and the resurrection.
in Paul’s letter to Timothy he stated in 2nd Timothy 2 Verse 18
Who concerning the truth have erred saying that the resurrection is past already in overthrow the faith of some.
And Paul is writing to the Philippians. He talks about the power of the Resurrection.
in Philippians 3 verse beginning in verse 8 Philippians 3 beginning in verse 8
Paul’s dissertation to the Philippians
Yay, doubtless and I count all things but loss for the Excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord for whom I have suffered the loss of all things and do count them. But dung that I may win Christ and be found in him not having my own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the Faith of Christ the righteousness, which is of god.
by faith
that I may know him and the power of his resurrection.
And the fellowship of his sufferings being made conformable unto his death it by any means I might attain into the resurrection from the dead.
Paul affirmed that there is power in the resurrection. There wasn’t anything that Paul was not willing to sacrifice in his life.
He counted all things for loss for the Excellency of the knowledge of Christ that he might know him and the power of his resurrection. If by any means you could attain unto the resurrection of the Dead.
You continue in verse 13 if Philippians. He says this one thing I do forgetting those things that are behind and reaching forth unto those things which are before.
Paul affirmed there’s a power in the resurrection. They power that mankind mankind has not witnessed to raise the dead to life a power beyond the creative force of man.
Paul stated that all is meaningless without the resurrection turn with me to 1st Corinthians 15.
1st Corinthians 15 beginning in verse 12
He says now I have Christ be preached that he rose from the dead how say some among you there is no resurrection of the dead. But if there be no resurrection of the dead then his Christ not risen and if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching Vain and your faith is also vain.
Yay, we are all found false Witnesses of God because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ whom he raised not up. If so be that the dead rise not and if the dead rise not then is not Christ raised and if Christ be not raised your faith is vain you are yet in your sins.
Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished and if in this life once we have hope in Christ, we are all men.
Most miserable but now is Christ risen from the dead and become the firstfruits of them that are asleep for Since By Man Came Death by man came also the resurrection of the Dead.
The power of the Resurrection is the power of change I change in man’s life from from sin to righteousness in Acts 3 verse 26. He says until you first God having raised up his son. Jesus sent him to bless you in turn away every one of you from his iniquities.
And then again in Acts 13 verse 37, but he whom God raised again. So no corruption Vietnam until you therefore men and Brethren that through this man is preached unto you the Forgiveness of sins and by him all that are that believe are justified in all things from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
Yes.
There is power of change of our lives in that Christ that Christ offers.
The power of the Resurrection is the power of victory in 1st Corinthians 15 beginning in verse 54.
So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption and this Mortal shall put on immortality then shall be brought to pass the saying what that is written death is swallowed up in Victory The Sting of death is sin and the strength of sin is the law.
But thanks be to God which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore my beloved Brethren be steadfast unmovable. Always abounding in the work of the Lord forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
and in first John 5 beginning in verse 4
for whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world and this is the victory that overcometh the world. Even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world but he that believeth that Jesus is the son of God. There is power in the victory that Christ offers.
There’s power of Hope in the resurrection in 1st Peter 1 beginning in verse 3. He said blessed be the God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to His abundant Mercy has begotten us again unto a Living Hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
when Paul was accused by the Jews in Acts 20 36
Perceiving they were both side. You seized and Pharisees. He replied in verse 6. I’m a Pharisee this son of a Pharisee of the hope and resurrection of the Dead am I called in question?
The power of the Resurrection is the power of Hope.
in First Corinthians second Corinthians, five second Corinthians, five verse 17
He says therefore If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature and old things are passed away behold. All things are become new and all things are of God who has reconciled us to us himself by Jesus Christ and hath given us the ministry of reconciliation to wit that God was in Christ reconciling the
World unto himself not imputing their trespasses unto them and hath committed to us the word of reconciliation now when we are ambassadors for Christ as though God did beseech You by us. We pray you in Christ’s stead be ye reconciled to God for he hath made him to be sin for us who knew? No sin that we might that we
might be made the righteousness of God in him.
In Galatians 5 and verse 5. He says for we through the spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. There is hope in the power of the Resurrection.
There are salvation in the power of the Resurrection in Romans 6 beginning in verse 3. He says know ye not that his many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death. Therefore. We are buried with him by baptism into death that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the father even so we also should
Walk in newness of life for if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death. We shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection knowing this that our old man is crucified with him that the body of sin might be done away that henceforth we should not serve sin.
For he that is dead is freed from sin. Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him knowing that Christ me and raised from the dead dies No More Death hath no more dominion over him for in that he died. He died in to sin once but in that he liveth he liveth unto God.
Likewise reckon you’re off you also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin. But alive unto God through Jesus Christ Our Lord.
And then in Colossians 2 verse 12, he says we are buried with him in baptism wherein also you are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God who hath raised him from the dead and you being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh hath. He quickened together with him having forgiven you all trespasses trespasses.
Finally, there’s power of the Resurrection have given us comfort in this life and 1st Thessalonians 4 beginning in verse 4 14. He says for if we believe that Jesus died and rose again even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him for this we say unto you by the word of the Lord that we which are alive.
seven remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep for the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout with the voice of the Archangel and with the Trump of God and the dead in Christ shall rise first, and we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with him in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and so shall
will ever be with the Lord then he says wherefore Comfort one another with these words.
and in the 15th chapter of First Corinthians
beginning in verse 42
so also is the resurrection of the dead it is sown in corruption. It is raised in incorruption. It is sown in dishonor. It is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness. It is raised in power. It is sown a natural body. It is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body and their ears are spiritual body and so it is written the first
First man Adam was made a living Soul. The last Adam was made a quickening spirit howbeit, that was not first which is spiritual but that which is natural and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth. Earthy. The second man is Lord From Heaven.
As is the earthy such are they also that are earthy and as the Heavenly such are they also that are Heavenly and as we have borne the image of the earthy we shall also bear the image of the Heavenly now this I say Brethren that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
Behold I show you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed in a moment in the twinkling of an eye at the last Trump for the trumpet shall sound and the dead shall be raised Incorruptible and we shall be changed.
