  • 1. Jesus died by crucifixion.
  • 2. Jesus was buried.
  • 3. Jesus' death caused the disciples to despair and lose hope.
  • 4. The tomb was empty
  • 5. The disciples had experiences which they believed were literal appearances of the risen Jesus
  • 6. The disciples were transformed from doubters to bold proclaimers.
  • 7. The resurrection was their central message.
  • 8. They preached the resurrection in Jerusalem.
  • 9. The Church was born and grew.
  • 10. Orthodox Jews who believed in Christ, made Sunday their primary day of worship.
  • 11. James, the brother of Jesus was a major skeptic, but was converted to the faith when he saw the resurrected Jesus

YOU DON'T HAVE A CHANCE
WITHOUT JESUS

headlights coming


What you believe does not determine reality nor truth. That would make you god. But you ARE NOT god. You don't control the universe. You cannot change reality. Let's try an experiment. At about midnight stand in the middle of the road just around a corner where it is hard to be seen... at night, wearing all black. When headlights start lighting up the curve, just believe that whatever is coming does not exist. Stand firm, if you don't believe a vehicle is coming, then nothing is coming. You are perfectly safe... until reality hits.

You are now standing before Jesus. You are dead. It's judgment day. You don't want to believe it's Jesus and you will be judged. But it is. That's reality.

Judgment only takes a moment, the verdict is obvious, and you know it is correct. You are guilty. You've lied, stolen and sexually lusted after others (Matthew 5:28)... you have disobeyed God. Trusting Jesus is the only answer, but it's too late. You had your last chance just before you died.

You know it's no use to protest, but still you scream out, 'I didn't know!'

But you did know. All of creation declared God's glory, His invisible attributes, and His power. You have no excuse. You willingly rejected Jesus Christ (God).

Is this you? Are you saying, 'Hell isn't so bad, I'll be with my friends.' You know that's not true. There are no friends in hell. No beer... not even water to cool your lips. There is NOTHING good in hell.

So I beg you, consider these words. Trust Jesus as having paid your penalty for every way you've have rejected God. Trust Jeus to save you from hell and bring you into the presense of God.

Trust Jesus. Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved. - Acts 16:31
