The Reframed Life
John 19:35, 40; John 20:3-4, 6-8, 16, 24-31
1 ONE OF THE MOST ASKED QUESTIONS IN THE WORLD
Who is Jesus?
2 WE DON’T BELIEVE IN THE RESURRECTION BECAUSE THE BIBLE TELLS US SO; WE BELIEVE IN THE RESURRECTION BECAUSE MATTHEW, JOHN, AND JAMES, WHO WERE EYEWITNESSES, TOLD US SO.
BECAUSE WE BELIEVE IN THE RESURRECTION, WE BELIEVE IN THE BIBLE
3
01 MATTHEW DOCUMENTED THE RESURRECTION
02 DR LUKE, A GREEK TRAVELED WITH PAUL
03 JAMES BROTHER OF JESUS, WAS NOT IMPRESSED
4 THE PROBLEM IS NOT WHAT JESUS TAUGHT OR WHAT HE DID
The problem is who He claimed to be…

03 BEFORE ABRAHAM WAS, I AM
5 APART FROM THE RESURRECTION Jesus is just another
01 JEWISH RABBI

GOD’S COVENANT NAME
THE LAST SUPPER INAUGURATED THE NEW CONVENANT John 13:34
8 Love others as I have loved you
Then He modeled it by going to the cross
9 PILATE HAD JESUS FLOGGED
He thought the people would relent but they did not. John 19:1
10 WHEN Jesus DIED John 19:30
01 Hope was gone
02 No one believed He was the Son of God
03 No one believed he was the Messiah or the Savior of the World
11 JOHN LOOKS INTO THE FUTURE TO YOU AND ME!
Why? So we would respond like he did. John 19:35
JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA & NICODEMUS John 19:38
12 WHEN Jesus WAS CRUCIFIED
THE GAME WAS OVER
There was no need to keep the cause alive.
There was no movement to keep moving.
If Jesus couldn’t keep Himself alive, what was the point of the movement being alive?
13 DISCIPLES AWAKEN TO BANGING ON THE DOOR
It was Mary Magdalene
14 AT THE TOMB, THEY SAW WHAT THEY DID EXPECT TO SEE John 20:3-6
not a mess

crucified
dead
embalmed/buried
risen

BUT BELIEVING
18 BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO HAVE NOT SEEN BELIEVE. John 20:29

Believe that Jesus is the Messiah Son of God
&

Believing you may have life in His name John 20:30-31
