Sermon outline

Christ has been raised!

The OT anticipated this:

1. 1. 1. The Book of Job on the need for resurrection (Job 143-14, 19:26, Rom 6:23)
      2. Isaiah on defeating death (Is 25:8, 26:29)
      3. Ezekiel and the valley of dry bones (Ezek 37:3-5)

The Witnesses of Jesus Resurrection (Jn 20)

1. 1. 1. In order to believe, we need witnesses.
      2. The First Witness: A Female, Mary Magdalene (Mk 16:9, Jn 20:1, 13)
         1. She is commissioned to tell the story (Jn 20:17)
      3. Then there are the male witnesses (11 of them in all over a week’s time)
         1. Then the 10 disciples minus Thomas (Jn 20:19, 21-23)
         2. Finally, a week later Thomas encounters Jesus (Jn 20:29)
      4. All are commissioned to tell the Jesus Story!
