JESUS AND HIS RESURRECTION:
FAST BIBLE FACTS
The Resurrection of Jesus Christ (1) can be explored in the four Gospel (2) accounts of Matthew (3), Mark (4), Luke (5), and John (6): Matthew 28:1-10; Mark 16:1-8; Luke 24:1-12; John 20:1-10.
RESURRECTION REFERENCES
In Matthew 12:40, Jesus prophesies (7) about spending "three days and three nights in the heart of the earth," relating it to the "three days and three nights" Jonah (8), an Old Testament (9) Prophet (10), spent in the belly of a huge fish (Jonah 1:17). Read the entire exchange by exploring Matthew 12:38-45.
In Acts 2:22-24, the Apostle Peter (11) preaches about the Risen Jesus at Pentecost (12), testifying (Acts 2:25-28) as to the prophecy of King David (13) recorded a millennia prior to the birth of Jesus (14) (Psalms 16:8-11). Read the entire Pentecost (15) account by exploring Acts 2:1-47.
In Acts 7:54-60, Stephen (16) exclaimed, “Look! I see Heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.” The Sanhedrin (17) proceeded to drag him out of the city and stone him to death (18). Read the preceding portion of the chapter, which includes Stephen's speech to the Sanhedrin, by exploring Acts 7:1-53.
In Acts 13:33-35, the Apostle Paul (19) spoke of the Risen Jesus, quoting King David's prophecy in Psalms 16:10 (just as Peter did in Acts 2:25-28). Read the entire account by exploring Acts 13:13-52.
In 1 Corinthians 15:1-11, the Apostle Paul speaks of Christ's Resurrection. He then preaches about the Resurrection of the Dead in 1 Corinthians 15:12-34 and the Resurrection Body in 1 Corinthians 15:35-58.
