HAPPY RESURRECTION DAY!
Jesus Christ Arose from the Dead!
4-16-17, If Jesus Christ had stayed dead, like all other people, that'd been the end of it. Few people past and present reject that Jesus Christ is a real person who walked this earth about 2000 years ago. However, there are many who reject the fact that He arose from death disregarding that His physical resurrected body was witnessed by over five hundred people.
The events of Jesus life are recorded by men who walked with Him and the Apostle Paul who had a miraculous visitation after He ascended back to Heaven. Then we have the historians Ignatius, Polycarp and Clement. Polycarp was born around 69 AD and was martyred in 155 AD. no disputing his existence. From his writings and of others about Polycarp we learn that he, along with a man named Ignatius, studied under the Apostle John who was an eye witness to the resurrected Christ.
To claim Jesus did not exist, we must also declare a bunch of other people — who we know existed by their own writings and the writings of others — did not exist either. To deny Jesus existence and or His resurrection, you have to believe in some truly farfetched conspiracy.
Without the miraculous resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ - we have no hope of eternal life; but He did arise and lives forevermore! He's coming again and maybe soon. Hallelujah!

#6 Jesus Was Born to Die
“For even the Son of man came not to be
ministered unto, but to minister and to give
His life a ransom for many.” Mark 10:45
4-14-17, John D. Morris, Ph.D. -- Especially as noted in the Gospel of John, Christ identified many reasons why He had been born. Consider the following sampling of verses and references. First and foremost, Christ came to redeem those who would repent and believe,
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).
But under that umbrella of redemption come many other aspects.
God’s will was paramount even in judgment (John 5:30) as well as resurrection “this is the will of Him that sent Me, that everyone which seeth the Son, and believeth on Him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day” (John 6:40).
Many aspects of Christ’s work are to be realized in this life, for He said: “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly” (John 10:10).
However, the primary goal was to bring to climax His redemptive strategy. He knew that none of the other aspects of His work had any effect without atonement for sin, which was only possible if a blood sacrifice was made for that sin.
“I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd
giveth His life for the sheep” (John 10:11).
This was the reason Jesus came; to die for His sheep.

#5 Music Written to Proclaim He Arose!
Glorious Music "Messiah" Oratorio
'Handel's Messiah' Was Composed Commemorating the Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ - Not His Birth
4-13-17, In England during the Lent spring season of 1742, the preeminent composer, German born George Frederic Handel, composed THE MESSIAH ORATORIO. Although this music has become a piece to worship the Lord Jesus at His birth; that was not the event for which it was composed. A close friend and collaborator of Handel, Charles Jennens used Biblical text of Jesus for the oratorio's text/lyric:
- Only the first portion of the work was about the birth of Jesus
- The second act covers Jesus crucifixion and death
- The third focused on His resurrection
Therefore, the piece was originally conceived as a work for Easter.

By the 19th century, "Messiah" became a regular Christmas custom and December staple particularly in the United States apparently out of necessity. Laurence Cummings, conductor of the London Handel Orchestra, told Smithsonian Magazine: "There is so much fine Easter music — Bach's St. Matthew Passion, most especially — and so little great sacral music written for Christmas."

#4 Proof Jesus Was Crucified on Thursday
The Jewish day begins at sundown
SOLVING THE THREE DAY THREE NIGHT MYSTERY
SOLVING THE THREE DAY THREE NIGHT MYSTERY
2003, Jack Kelly [Excerpted] -- The crucifixion and burial of the Lord Jesus Christ has a controversy about what day He was crucified. Friday has been the traditional day of choice. However, looking backward from His resurrection we see He couldn't have died on Friday.
Two of the Lord's disciples [one Cleopas] who met the resurrected Lord [not recognizing Him] on the road to Emmaus [Luke 24:13-35] thought He was a stranger because He asked why they were sad. In their conversation the disciples indicated it was the third day [vs 21] since Jesus' crucifixion; it being a Sunday, the previous day Saturday would have been the second day since it happened and Friday would have been the first day since it happened making the day it happened when He was crucified ... Thursday.
Some may argue that this view doesn't permit three full days and three full nights in the tomb; but that's not what scripture says. It simply says 3 days and 3 nights. Trying to move His death to Wednesday to allow three full days, we violate the Passover Lamb prophecy. The women wouldn't have waited until Sunday morning to prepare the Lord's body, because they could have done it on Friday.

#3 Proof Jesus Arose from Death
4-11-17, Dr Morris -- All through the ages mankind has struggled wanting their own way to eternal life in heaven. Many refuse to believe that Jesus Christ is THE ONLY WAY to forgiveness and eternity with God. The apostle Paul speaking to the philosophers in Athens said:
"Ye men of Athens. . . . in all things ye are too superstitious" (Acts 17:22). "God that made the world and all things therein . . . is Lord of heaven and earth. . . . He hath appointed a day, in the which He will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom He hath ordained; whereof He hath given assurance unto all men, in that He hath raised Him from the dead" (Acts 17:24,31).
"Ye men of Athens. . . . in all things ye are too superstitious" (Acts 17:22). "God that made the world and all things therein . . . is Lord of heaven and earth. . . . He hath appointed a day, in the which He will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom He hath ordained; whereof He hath given assurance unto all men, in that He hath raised Him from the dead" (Acts 17:24,31).
There is no doubt that Jesus really did die on that cross. Pilate was given assurance of this by the centurion (Mark 15:43-45). The savage spear thrust into His side by the soldier (John 19:34) made certain of His death, "and forthwith came there out blood and water," evidencing complete collapse of the heart cavity.
The first evidence the disciples had for the resurrection was that of the empty tomb. As Peter and John entered the tomb, they saw an amazing thing. The heavy wrappings of linen clothes which Joseph and Nicodemus had wound around the body of Jesus (John 19:39-40) were still there, just as they had been, but the body had vanished out of them and the grave clothes had, as it were, collapsed inward on themselves. No wonder the record says that when John entered the tomb, "he saw, and believed!" (John 20:8). Christ had returned to life, in such a remarkable form that it could simply pass through the linen wrappings and enter henceforth into the power of an endless life!

After Jesus Resurrection from the Dead
His appearances:
Not only was the tomb empty, but the disciples and more than five hundred others actually saw the resurrected Lord. On at least ten separate occasions after He left the tomb He was seen in the following order:
THE WITNESS OF THE APOSTLES
The Foundation of Christianity
Without the resurrection [1], it is quite certain there could be no Christian church. We realize that there is no possibility that the apostles could have continued as teachers of the Messiah Jesus Christ's doctrines and precepts without the death of and bodily resurrection of their Master. Clearly, others could not have been persuaded to follow them, without their assurance that Christ was alive. They went forth everywhere proclaiming His resurrection, regardless of their persecution & martyrdom, causing multitudes to become believers in their Living Lord.
Until that day, when He "[makes] all things new" (Revelation 21:5), His promise of forgiveness, salvation, resurrection and eternal life is available on an individual basis to every person who repents of their sin, believes and accept Him as their Lord.

#2 Passover
Behold the Lamb
Jesus is OUR 'Passover' Lamb
John the Baptist said as Jesus approached,
"Behold the Lamb of God that takes away the
sins of the world!" John 1:29;1:36
February 2013, Dr Henry M. Morris Ph.D. Evidence for Creation -- As he spoke to two of His followers, John the Baptist was, in effect, telling them that they should henceforth leave him to follow Jesus.
"And the two disciples heard him speak,
and they followed Jesus" (John 1:37).
On the previous day, when John had first seen Jesus coming, his comments in John 1:29 is the first use of the word "lamb" in the New Testament and it is significant that it refers to the Lord Jesus as the One great sacrifice for our sins.
He is called "the Lamb" 30 more times in the New Testament, the final time no longer viewing Him on the altar, but on His eternal throne (Revelation 22:3). Yet, even on His throne as our King, He is still the Lamb, and we can never ever forget that He once died for us that we might live with Him.

Today: Passover, April 10, 2017
In ancient Egypt, what was the first Jewish 'Passover' God told the Israelites to place the shed blood of a spotless lamb on the doorpost of each home and said, "When I see the blood, I will pass over you" (Exodus 12:13). And all the Jews were spared.
In fulfillment of the ancient sacrifices and types, the once-for-all Lamb of God came.

#1, Palm Sunday
The Irony of Another Attack Against Christians on Palm Sunday
4-9-17, Palm Sunday in Egypt -- Today millions of Christians in Egypt gathered in their ancient churches to celebrate Palm Sunday. This Christian holiday is the commemoration of the triumphal entrance of the Lord Jesus into Jerusalem before His crucifixion and resurrection that Christian's celebrate on what's traditionally called 'EASTER.'
Jesus Triumphal Entry
Zechariah 9:9-13; Matthew 21:1-11; Mark 11:1-11; Luke 19:28-40
Jesus commanded to be given a colt [donkey]; and as He rode into Jerusalem the people cast their garments on Him and in the path with palm branches. They who followed, cried, saying, "Hosanna; Blessed is He that comes in the name of the Lord: Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that comes in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest." Mark 11:6-11

The Muslims martyring Christians in Egypt today is ironic because Jesus was killed by Pharisees; both for the same reason. Their faith is/was not allowed. The Lord Jesus never told Christians to retaliate; although He did say:
“They will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name” …“an hour is coming for everyone who kills you to think that he is offering service to God.” Matthew 24:9; John 16:2.
However, God knows of His children's suffering and we know that all of His prophecies and promises will be fulfilled. The persecuted are strengthened, encouraged and their faith is increased despite affliction. Every time wicked Islamic terrorist martyrs a Christian, people watching the forgiveness and testimony of his or her family brings dozens more converts to Christ.
We know that someday, soon and very soon, the Blessed Hope of the Lord Jesus will avenge and rescue the perishing.

- Three days later another Mardi Gras Parade: On Feb 28, 2017 in Gulf Shores Alabama an unidentified 73 yr old man ran over a bunch of marchers. Twelve students in the band were injured - three critical. Report by Pensacola News here | CBS News video here

Catholics and many Protestant Christians Celebrate what's called 'Lent' the beginning of the annual Easter Season: Lent begins on what's called "Ash Wednesday" the Christian religious celebration of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ on what's called "Easter." It's a 40-day fast, so will run up until the Thursday before Easter Sunday, this year April 16, 2017.
