NAILS ON YOUR HAND
The nails in Your hands
The nails in Your feet
tell me how much You love me.
The thorns on Your brow
They tell me how
You bore so much shame to love me.
And when the Heavens pass away
All Your scars will still remain
And forever they will say
Just how much You love me.
Forever my love
Forever my heart
Forever my life is Yours
It's Yours
THE ANTHEM
By his stripes we are healed
By his nail-pierced hands we’re free
By his blood, we’re washed clean
Now we have the victory.
The power of sin is broken,
Jesus overcame it all,
He has won our freedom,
Jesus has won it all,
Hallelujah!
You have won the victory.
Hallelujah!
You have won it all for me.
Death could not hold you down
You are the risen king
Seated in Majesty
You are the risen king
Our god is risen, he is alive
He won the victory, he reigns on high
Jesus Has Risen From The Grave
By Pastor Fee Soliven
1 Corinthians 2:1-5
Sunday Morning
April 16, 2017
1 Corinthians 2:1-5
1 And I, brethren, when I came to you,
did not come with excellence of speech
or of wisdom declaring to you the
testimony of God. 2 For I determined
not to know anything among you except
Jesus Christ and Him crucified. 3 I was
with you in weakness, in fear, and in
much trembling.
4 And my speech and my preaching
were not with persuasive words of
human wisdom, but in demonstration of
the Spirit and of power, 5 that your faith
should not be in the wisdom of men but
in the power of God.
The cross has become a symbol of
Christianity, but it’s so much more
than a mere piece of jewelry
hanging around someone’s neck.
Colossians 1:21-22
21 And you, who once were alienated
and enemies in your mind by wicked
works, yet now He has reconciled 22
in the body of His flesh through death,
to present you holy, and blameless,
and above reproach in His sight…
The Crucifixion was God’s Plan
1 Peter 1:19-21
19 but with the precious blood of
Christ, as of a lamb without blemish
and without spot. 20 He indeed was
foreordained before the foundation of
the world, but was manifest in these
last times for you 21 who through Him
believe in God, who raised Him from
the dead and gave Him glory, so that
your faith and hope are in God.
Ephesians 1:4-5
4 just as He chose us in Him before
the foundation of the world, that we
should be holy and without blame
before Him in love, 5 having
predestined us to adoption as sons by
Jesus Christ to Himself, according to
the good pleasure of His will…
God’s plan for the Crucifixion of
His Son was motivated by three
things:
1. The Sinfulness of Mankind
Romans 3:23
“for all have sinned and fall short of
the glory of God”
2. God’s love
Romans 5:8-9
8 But God demonstrates His own love
toward us, in that while we were still
sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much
more then, having now been justified
by His blood, we shall be saved from
wrath through Him.
3. God Demands Justice
Ezekiel 18:4
"Behold, all souls are Mine; The soul
of the father As well as the soul of the
son is Mine; The soul who sins shall
die”
Romans 6:23
“For the wages of sin is death, but the
gift of God is eternal life in Christ
Jesus our Lord”
Galatians 3:13-14
13 Christ has redeemed us from the
curse of the law, having become a
curse for us (for it is written, "Cursed is
everyone who hangs on a tree"), 14
that the blessing of Abraham might
come upon the Gentiles in Christ
Jesus, that we might receive the
promise of the Spirit through faith.
The Crucifixion was where our sin
and God’s love and justice met!
Hebrews 9:24-28
24 For Christ has not entered the holy
places made with hands, which are
copies of the true, but into heaven
itself, now to appear in the presence of
God for us; 25 not that He should offer
Himself often, as the high priest enters
the Most Holy Place every year with
blood of another
26 He then would have had to suffer
often since the foundation of the world;
but now, once at the end of the ages,
He has appeared to put away sin by
the sacrifice of Himself. 27 And as it is
appointed for men to die once, but
after this the judgment, 28 so Christ
was offered once to bear the sins of
many. To those who eagerly wait for
Him He will appear a second time,
apart from sin, for salvation.
The Power of The Resurrection!
1 Corinthians 15:12-20
12 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,
then Christ is not risen.
14 And if Christ is not risen, then our
preaching is empty and your faith is
also empty. 15 Yes, and we are found
false witnesses of God, because we
have testified of God that He raised up
Christ, whom He did not raise up--if in
fact the dead do not rise. 16 For if the
dead do not rise, then Christ is not
risen.
17 And if Christ is not risen, your faith
is futile; you are still in your sins! 18
Then also those who have fallen
asleep in Christ have perished. 19 If in
this life only we have hope in Christ,
we are of all men the most pitiable. 20
But now Christ is risen from the dead,
and has become the firstfruits of those
who have fallen asleep.
Belief in the Resurrection is Not
Optional for Salvation!
Romans 10:9-10
9 that if you confess with your mouth
the Lord Jesus and believe in your
heart that God has raised Him from
the dead, you will be saved. 10 For
with the heart one believes unto
righteousness, and with the mouth
confession is made unto salvation.
1. Through His Death Jesus
Defeated Death, Hell and the Grave!
Isaiah 25:8
“He will swallow up death forever, And
the Lord GOD will wipe away tears
from all faces; The rebuke of His
people He will take away from all the
earth; For the LORD has spoken”
Hosea 13:14
“I will ransom them from the power of
the grave; I will redeem them from
death. O Death, I will be your plagues!
O Grave, I will be your destruction!
Pity is hidden from My eyes”
Hebrews 2:14-15
14 Inasmuch then as the children have
partaken of flesh and blood, He
Himself likewise shared in the same,
that through death He might destroy
him who had the power of death, that
is, the devil, 15 and release those who
through fear of death were all their
lifetime subject to bondage.
Revelation 1:18
“I am He who lives, and was dead,
and behold, I am alive forevermore.
Amen. And I have the keys of Hades
and of Death”
2. Through Jesus’ Resurrection He
Offers Eternal Life!
John 11:21-26
21 Then Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if
You had been here, my brother would
not have died. 22 But even now I know
that whatever You ask of God, God will
give You." 23 Jesus said to her, "Your
brother will rise again."
24 Martha said to Him, "I know that he
will rise again in the resurrection at the
last day." 25 Jesus said to her, "I am
the resurrection and the life. He who
believes in Me, though he may die, he
shall live. 26 And whoever lives and
believes in Me shall never die. Do you
believe this?"
Romans 6:5-10
5 For if we have been united together
in the likeness of His death, certainly
we also shall be in the likeness of His
resurrection, 6 knowing this, that our
old man was crucified with Him, that
the body of sin might be done away
with, that we should no longer be
slaves of sin.
7 For he who has died has been freed
from sin. 8 Now if we died with Christ,
we believe that we shall also live with
Him, 9 knowing that Christ, having
been raised from the dead, dies no
more. Death no longer has dominion
over Him. 10 For the death that He
died, He died to sin once for all; but
the life that He lives, He lives to God.
3. We are Saved and Reconciled
Through His Death!
Romans 5:8-11
8 But God demonstrates His own love
toward us, in that while we were still
sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much
more then, having now been justified by
His blood, we shall be saved from
wrath through Him. 10 For if when we
were enemies we were reconciled to
God through the death of His Son,
much more, having been reconciled,
we shall be saved by His life.
1. How convinced are you that Jesus
died on a cross and was resurrected?
2. What difference does His
resurrection make in your life today?
3. Have you ever thought about the
ramifications if Jesus had not been
raised?
4. How would your life be different if
He was still in the grave?
5. How would it have affected history?
Christianity? Your current
culture? Your eternal destination?
6. What emotions do you feel when
you think about your own death?
7. Are you confident that Christ is your
Savior? If not, won’t you believe in
Him today, repent of your sins, and
ask Him to forgive you?
