( acceptance ) of Jesus as a sacrifice for our sins!
– Ro 8:33-34

CONCLUSION
1. The impact of the resurrection of Jesus should not go unfelt in our
lives…
a. As a historical event it has everlasting implications for us and the ministry
b. For both the unbeliever and believer
2. The unbeliever needs to examine the evidence for the resurrection
carefully…
a. The nature of the testimony provided by the witnesses
b. The unfeasibility of alternative explanations for the empty tomb
— For if Jesus rose from the dead, one must believe in Him! –
John 8: 24
3. The believer must never lose sight of the significance of the
resurrection…
a. Do our lives demonstrate that we serve a risen Lord and Savior?
b. Do we possess the hope, peace, and strength that the reality and
power of His resurrection gives to the Christian?
May we never forget “The Significance Of The Resurrection” of Jesus
Christ in our lives!
