By: D. Karl Thomas

Covid -19 The virus that changed the world … Na!
God’s purpose of redemption can not be tampered with!!!
Hab 2:14 “Gods glory will fill all the earth!!

The Fact Of Resurrection

Romans 4:25  “Jesus was handed over to be crucified for the forgiveness of our sins and was raised back to life to prove that he had made us right with God!”   He is risen I’m Righteous!!!

The Face Of Resurrection

John 20:15-16   “Jesus said to her, ‘Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?’ …
Jesus said to her, ‘Mary!'”   The Resurrection is personal … Looking for family redeemed community

The Focus Of Resurrection

1 Peter 1:3-5 “…has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,  to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you…”     changes your approach to everything … 1.  From religion to relationship
2. From surviving to thriving  LIFE NOW   3. From the temporal to the eternal

The Friday Of Resurrection

2 Corinthians 5:21 “God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God”  

Sin din’t kill Jesus … it couldn’t He gave up His spirit to father … His redeeming blood flowed over His sin wrecked body and redeemed man from sin once and for all.

Colossians 1:20-22  “…having made peace through the blood of His cross. And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight…”

Precious Blood  1 Peter 1:18-19 “…but with the precious blood of Christ, …without blemish and without spot.”  Blood of God  Acts 20:28 “…church of God which He purchased with His own blood.” 

Romans 6:18  “And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.”

The Force Of Resurrection

My favourite Book — My Favourite Chapter — My Favourite Verses 

Romans 8:31-39  NLT    “What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us?   

What wonderful things?  eight chapters full of GOOD NEWS!!!!

Romans 1:16-17  “Gospel … righteousness from God … Just shall live by faith!”

Romans 3:23-24 “…all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,…” 

Romans 5:17  “For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.”

What is our response to all this wonderful news “If God is for us who can be against us?”  RHETORICAL — You don’t have to answer that … Honey how does may new orange hair look 

32 Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else?

Argument from greater to the lesser.

33 Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? No one—for God himself has given us right standing with himself.

34 Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us. 

I’m not remembering what God did for me … He is alive declaring what He has done for me and enforcing every blessing that is mine through a living victorious savior!!!

35 Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death?

36 As the Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.”

37 No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.

This word is used only once in Scripture.       hoop airrrr ni  kah ō
hypernikaō :– overwhelming victory, super conquerors, to vanquish beyond.

38 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,… 

neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love

39  No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us ...
… from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

John 11:25-26  Message “You don’t have to wait for the End. I am, right now, Resurrection and Life. The one who believes in me, even though he or she dies, will live. And everyone who lives believing in me does not ultimately die at all. Do you believe this?”

The Force Of Resurrection ——  GOD IS FOR US!!!!!
