QUESTIONS ABOUT THE RESURRECTION

TEXT- PSALM 16:10

PSALM 16:10  BECAUSE YOU WILL NOT ABANDON ME TO THE GRAVE, NOR WILL YOU LET YOUR HOLY ONE SEE DECAY.

INTRODUCTION

THIS MORNING OUR TEXT IS FOUND IN PS. 16:10 AND THE SUBJECT OF MY SERMON IS, "QUESTIONS ABOUT THE RESURRECTION."

HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED HOW EASTER BEGAN OR WHY WE CALL IT EASTER?

THE NAME EASTER COMES FROM THE NAME OF A TEUTONIC GODDESS OF SPRING NAMED EASTRE.

EASTER DID NOT ORIGINATE WITH THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS, BUT WAS ORIGINALLY A PAGAN FESTIVAL WHICH THE ROMAN CATHOLICS CONVERTED INTO A DAY IN HONOR OF THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST,

WHILE TODAY HAS BEEN SET ASIDE BY THE RELIGIOUS WORLD FOR THIS REASON, WE NEED TO REMEMBER THAT EVERY SUNDAY SHOULD BE A TIME WHEN WE REMEMBER THAT JESUS ROSE FROM THE DEAD.

OVER THE YEARS I HAVE HEARD MANY DIFFERENT QUESTIONS ASKED ABOUT THE RESURRECTION.

SOME CAN BE ANSWERED WHILE OTHERS CANNOT.

TODAY I’D LIKE US TO CONSIDER JUST THREE QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE RESURRECTION.  MAYBE YOU HAVE ASKED THESE SAME QUESTIONS YOURSELF.

LET’S LOOK AT THEM TOGETHER AND LEARN MORE ABOUT THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST.
