FOURTH
DAY: Read Matthew 28:1-15; Acts 1:3-11.
Q9. Read 1 Corinthians
15:1-19 about why Jesus’ bodily
resurrection is essential.
a. How does the
Bible prove Jesus’ actual body and not simply His spirit was resurrected? Use
verses from today’s reading and any of the Gospels.
Acts 1:1-4
He presented himself to people and gave many convincing
proofs that he was alive.
He appeared to them over a period of 40 days and spoke
about the kingdom of God.
He broke the bread and ate with the people. He gave them
the command.
Mathew 28:9
The women clasped Jesus’ feet and worshiped him.
John 20:17
Jesus said to Mary “No not hold on to me…”
John 20:27
Jesus said to Thomas ”Put your finger here; see my hands.
Reach out your hand and put into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”
Luke 24:39
Jesus said “Look at my hands and my feet. It’s I myself!
Touch me and see a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.”
b. What are the
results of not believing in the bodily resurrection of the dead?
If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has
been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, our
preaching is useless and our faith is useless as well. Then we are still in our
sins.
Q10. From the following verses, why is Jesus’ physical resurrection
important?
John 10:17-18
To prove the love and
authority from the Father that Jesus received from the Father to lay down his
life and to take it up again.
Acts 2:31 with Psalm
16:10
To fulfill the
prophet that Jesus’ was not abandoned to the realm of dead (grave), nor did his
body see decay.
Acts 17:30-31
God has set a day to
judge the world with justice by Jesus and has given proof of this to everyone
by raising him from the dead.
1 Corinthians 15:45-58
It fulfilled the
prophet “Death has been swallowed up in victory.” The perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and
the mortal with immortality. Then we from the natural will be changed to the
spiritual by clothing the imperishable, the immortality.
Ephesians 1:18-20;
It’s God’s mighty strength
to raise Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly
realms. Our sins were therefore buried with him through baptism into death
through the glory of the Father, we may live a new life.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-14
We have the hope because we believe
Jesus died and rose again, that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen
asleep in him.
Hebrews 7:16, 23-28
On the basis of the power of an
indestructible life Jesus has
become a priest and because Jesus lives forever, he has a permanent priesthood.
He is able to save completely those who come
to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.
1 Peter 1:3-5
God has given us new birth into a living hope through the
resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and
into an inheritance that can never perish. This inheritance is kept in heaven
for us through faith.
