Acts 12:4 . . . And when he had
apprehended him, he put him in prison,
and delivered him to four quaternions
of soldiers to keep him; intending after
Easter to bring him forth to the people.
The cross represents our Lord’s victory
over sin and death. If He hadn’t risen
from the grave, it would be a symbol of
defeat, hopelessness, and shame.

resurrection of our Lord
Jesus Christ.

first fruits, after that those who are
Christ's at His coming,

Me will live even if he dies, 26) and

Sir Walter Raleigh:
Written on the night before
his death
“Even such is time, that takes in trust,
Our youth, our joys, our all we have,
And pays us but with age and dust;
Who in the dark and silent grave,
When we have wandered all our ways,
Shuts up the story of our days,
But from this earth, this grave and dust,
My God shall raise me up, I trust!”
Jesus told His disciples many times that He
would be crucified, buried, and rise again,
but they didn’t get it. They didn’t believe it.

Miscellaneous Resurrection Verses:
1 Peter 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be
born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus
Christ from the dead,
Philippians 3:20-21 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which
also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; 21 who
will transform the body of our humble state into conformity with the
body of His glory, by the exertion of the power that He has even to
subject all things to Himself.
Romans 6:5 For if we have become united with Him in the
likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of
His resurrection . . .
1 John 3:2-3 Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not
appeared as yet what we shall be. We know that, when He
appears, we shall be like Him, because we shall see Him just as
He is. 3 And everyone who has this hope fixed on Him purifies
himself, just as He is pure.
1 Corinthians 15:52-57 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye,
at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be
raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. 53 For this
perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put
on immortality. 54 But when this perishable will have put on the
imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will
come about the saying that is written, "Death is swallowed up in
victory. 55 "O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your
sting?" 56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the
law; 57 but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our
Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 15:12-19 Now if Christ is preached, that He has
been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that
there is no resurrection of the dead? 13 But if there is no
resurrection of the dead, not even Christ has been raised; 14 and
if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain, your faith
also is vain. 15 Moreover we are even found to be false
witnesses of God, because we testified against God that He
raised Christ, whom He did not raise, if in fact the dead are not
raised. 16 For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has
been raised; 17 and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is
worthless; you are still in your sins. 18 Then those also who have
fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19 If we have hoped in
Christ in this life only, we are of all men most to be pitied.
There is one question that
hardly anyone asks:
What happens after we receive
a resurrection body?
