Resurrection

• (i) First, the word resurrection most often
  refers to the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
• (ii) Resurrection is also used to refer to the
  miracle of returning someone from the dead back
  to life on earth. In the Old Testament, this
  happened when
• 1. Elijah raised a boy (1 Kings 178-24)
• 2. Elisha raised the Shunammites son (2 Kings
  418-37).
• In the New Testament there are a few more
  examples
• 1. Jesus raised Jairuss daughter (Mark 535-43)
• 2. Jesus raised Lazarus (John 1117-44)
• 3. Peter raised Dorcas (Acts 936-42)
• 4. Paul raised Eutychus (Acts 209-12).
• Even though these people were raised from the
  dead, they still died at some later time.
• (iii) Finally, resurrection also refers to the
  end of time when all people will be resurrected
  to be punished or rewarded based on their belief
  in Jesus Christ (John 529 and Revelation
  205-6).

• Various of the names found in the tomb on these
  ossuaries do not match up with the Holy Family
  names at all--- for example the names Matthew and
  Martha.
• Joseph died early in Galilee (Mk 6, Jesus is "son
  of Mary" and Joe is not mentioned). Was he
  exhumed and moved to Jerusalem?

Pauls view

• The Resurrection was so important for Paul that
  he said without it there was no reason to preach
  or have faith. He wrote that a Christian religion
  without the Resurrection would be empty and
  meaningless (1 Corinthians 1512-19). For Paul,
  the Resurrection was the great unveiling of Gods
  power in Jesus (Romans 14).

Peter, John Luke

• Peter wrote that the Resurrection allowed people
  to have a new and living hope (1 Peter 13).
• John wrote that Jesus resurrection was the
  foundation for witness and fellowship with God (1
  John 11-4).
• In the book of Acts, the Resurrection is
  presented as the main reason for ministry and
  preaching the Gospel (Acts 121-25).

7
After the resurrection

• A person like Paul, who had persecuted
  Christians, became a zealous apostle (Acts 91-22
  and 1 Corinthians).
• A fearful fisherman like Peter abandoned his nets
  to preach the gospel (John 21).
• A doubter like Thomas confessed that even he
  believed, calling Jesus my Lord and my God
  (2024-28).
• And two weary travelers to Emmaus found the
  energy to return quickly to Jerusalem and share
  the news about their encounter with the risen
  Jesus (Luke 2413-35).

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF CHRISTS RESURRECTION

• In the Bible, several people were raised from the
  dead a widows son by Elijah, another widows
  son and Lazarus by Jesus. However, these
  resurrections do not hold the same importance
  that Christs resurrection does. These people
  rose from the dead only to eventually die again.
• Jesus rose to live forever. When these people
  rose they were still doomed because of their
  sinfulness and disobedience to God. Jesus rose as
  the incorruptible and perfect Son of God.
• These people rose with no change in their bodily
  form. Jesus rose in a significantly different
  form.

• After the Resurrection, Jesus was not limited by
  earthly ideas of time and space.
• In the early morning of the day of his
  resurrection, Jesus appeared to Mary Magdalene in
  the garden (John 2011-17). Jesus then appeared
  to another group of women (Matthew 289). After
  this, he went to be with God (John 2017). Then,
  he returned to appear to Peter, who had gone home
  (2010 and Luke 2434). On the same day, in the
  late afternoon, he took a seven-mile walk with
  two disciples on their way to Emmaus (2413-33).
  After this, Jesus appeared to the disciples while
  they were assembled in a closed room somewhere in
  Jerusalem (Luke 2433-48 and John 2019-23). What
  Jesus did after his Resurrection was impossible
  for human beings. As the life-giving spirit
  with a glorified body, Jesus was no longer
  limited by time and space.
