  2. The resurrection means the impossible is true

  3. Even if you can’t see him, • Jesus is still there

  4. 1On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the • women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. • 2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when • they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes • that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. 5 In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men • said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? • 6 He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while • he was still with you in Galilee: 7 ‘The Son of Man must… (cont’d) • --Luke 22.1-11 NIV

  5. be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’ ” 8 Then they remembered his words. • 9 When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things • to the Eleven and to all the others. 10 It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them who told this to the apostles. 11 But they did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense. • 12 Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. Bending over, he • saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he went away, • wondering to himself what had happened. • --Luke 22.1-11 NIV

  6. 3“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! • In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, • 4 and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade... • 8Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though • you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled • with an inexpressible and glorious joy, 9 for you are receiving the • end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.” • --1 Peter 1.3-4, 8-9 NIV

  7. Even if you can’t be with them, • you will see them again

  8. For since we believe that Jesus died and was raised to • life again, we also believe that when Jesus returns, • God will bring back with him the believers who have died. • --1 Thessalonians 4.14 NLT

  9. 12But tell me this—since we preach that Christ rose from the dead, why are some of you saying there will be no resurrection of the dead? 13 For if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised either. 20 But in fact, Christ has been raised from the dead. He is the first of a great harvest of all who have died. • --1 Corinthians 15.12-13, 20 NLT

  10. “I assure you, today you will be with me in paradise.” • --Luke 23.43 NLT

  11. “Why is that? No lives were lost. One firefighter was reported badly injured—in terms of human cost, this hardly even counts as news, • let alone a tragedy. But we all sense the tragedy of it, even as we cling • to the hope that Notre-Dame can be rebuilt, must be rebuilt, will be rebuilt. What was lost? Surely some very fine and very old carpentry • in a cathedral’s attic that only maintenance workers ever see. • Possibly some irreplaceable works of art (reports are still incomplete); certainly some irreplaceable craftsmanship. But it’s more than lost carpentry, isn’t it, that we mourn? … We mourn that nothing lasts. • We want something to last.” • --David Gruesel--

  12. Even if you can’t see how, this • story has a happy ending

  13. 10“And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, • two men stood by them in white robes, 11 and said, “Men of • Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same • way as you saw him go into heaven.” • --Acts 1.10-11 NLT

  14. Dear friends, we are already God’s children, but he has not yet shown us what we will be like when Christ appears. But we do know that we will be like him, for we will see him as he really is… • --1 John 3.2 NLT

  15. 1Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the old heaven • and the old earth had disappeared. And the sea was also gone. • 2 And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down from • God out of heaven like a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. • 3 I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, “Look, God’s • home is now among his people! He will live with them, and they • will be his people. God himself will be with them. (cont’d) • --Revelation 21.1-5 NLT

  16. 4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.” • 5 And the one sitting on the throne said, “Look, I am making everything new!” And then he said to me, “Write this down, for • what I tell you is trustworthy and true.” • --Revelation 21.1-5 NLT

  17. 4“This is what the LORD of Heaven’s Armies says: Once again • old men and women will walk Jerusalem’s streets with their • canes and will sit together in the city squares. 5 And the streets • of the city will be filled with boys and girls at play. • --Zechariah 8.4-5 NLT
