Let’s Sum Up
Jesus did what no other religious teacher has ever dared to do. He proved the truth of all He taught, and all He claimed to be, by fulfilling one amazing promise – that three days after His death He would return alive from the grave.
His disciples did not understand how this was possible. They did not expect it to happen. Jesus removed every doubt by proving in every way, to all their senses, that His dead body had come back to life.
He was “… declared to be the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 1:4).
His resurrection is a fact of history. Yet it also has the greatest meaning for today. It proves that
“… he is able to save to the uttermost [fully] those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession [speak] for them” (Hebrews 7:25).
Our next course will show how we “come to God through Him.” Don’t miss this coming course. It could well be the blessing for which you have so long searched.
