He Is Risen!

Introduction:

Since the beginning of time, man has asked the question Job did in Job 14:14.

“The Resurrection of the dead”, it’s the oldest question man’s mind has ever pondered.

John 11:25

25 Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.

Paul gives 4 evidences that Christ arose
 
1 Corinthians 15:1-11

1 Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand,    
2  by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you -- unless you believed in vain.    
3  For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,    
4  and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures,    
5  and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve.    
6  After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep.    
7  After that He was seen by James, then by all the apostles.    
8  Then last of all He was seen by me also, as by one born out of due time.    
9  For I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.    
10  But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God [which was] with me.    
11  Therefore, whether [it was] I or they, so we preach and so you believed.
