ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES

                                                                         1 CORINTHIANS 15:1-8

 

Pastor Rick Jackson

 

There are a lot of foolish people in the world, slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken. Anyone who denies the Bible is the Word of God, that Christ is the God of the Word is either woefully ignorant or willfully arrogant. One of the most powerful examples of the veracity of the Scriptures is the vicarious death of the Lord Jesus Christ and His subsequent victorious resurrection. Note with me that, concerning the death of Christ;

 

I. WHAT WAS NOT DONE WAS NOT DONE ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURE [1 Cor. 15:3-4]

 

1. Christ did Not Die anywhere but the Cross of Calvary) [Dt. 21:22-23, Gal. 3:13, Mt. 26:38, Ph. 2:8, Heb. 5:7]

 

2. Christ Died but His Disciples Escaped [Zechariah 13:7, Matthew 26:31, Jn. 17:12, 18:3-7]

 

3. Christ’s Bones were Not Broken [Ex. 12:43-46, Num. 9:12, Ps. 34:20, John 19:31-36]

III. WHAT WAS WITHOUT WAS WITHOUT ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURE [1 Cor. 15:3-4]

 

1. They Hated Christ “Without” A Cause [Ps. 35:19, 69:4, John 15:18-25]
