BUT GOD

Matthew 28:1-5 After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of

the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at

the tomb.

2 There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord

came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back

the stone and sat on it. 3 His appearance was like lightning,

and his clothes were white as snow. 4 The guards were so

afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.

5 The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know

that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6 He is not

here; he has risen, just as he said.

The angel moved the stone, not to let Jesus out of the grave,

but to let us in.

Acts 2:22 “Fellow Israelites, listen to this: Jesus of

Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles,

wonders and signs, which God did among you through

him, as you yourselves know.

1. God knew what we needed before we knew we needed

it.

Acts 2:23 This man was handed over to you by God’s

deliberate plan and foreknowledge; and you, with the help of

wicked men, put him to death by nailing him to the cross.

Acts 2:23 This man was handed over to you by God’s

deliberate plan and foreknowledge; AND YOU, with the help

of wicked men AND YOU, with the help of wicked men, put

him to death by nailing him to the cross.

2. We do our best to try to mess up God’s plan.

Acts 2:24 But God…

But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the

agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep

its hold on him.

3. But God’s love is greater than our mess ups!
