Thankful for the Empty Tomb

BIG IDEA

Everything I believe hangs on the literal, physical resurrection of Jesus Christ…  All of my deepest needs and longings are satisfied in that truth.

1st Corinthians 15:14-19, And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain. We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified about God that He raised Christ, whom He did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised. For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied.

1.  My preaching is true.

2.  My faith is well-founded.

3.  My testimony is accurate.

4.  My sins are forgiven.

5.  My promise is eternal life.

6.  My life is blessed.
