Do You Believe? - Message 3 - Was Jesus Raised from the Dead? In this message we search the Scriptures for the answers to two questions: 1. How did Jesus die? 2. Was Jesus Raised from the Dead? In answering the question “How Did Jesus Die?” we will look at a chronology of the events the day Jesus died, seeing how His death fulfilled Scripture, provided a substitutionary atonement for our sin satisfying God's holiness, justice, and wrath. Of course no study of the crucifixion is complete without taking a look at the fact of the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. The Scriptures are clear. Jesus Christ died for the sins of His people. He acted as their substitute. After He died He was buried temporarily in a borrowed tomb (Matthew 27:57-61). He was buried in haste for the sun was setting and the Sabbath day was about to begin. Those who loved Jesus were planning to come back after the Sabbath and prepare the body for a proper burial, but this could not be done with the Sabbath approaching, so they waited, and laid His body in this tomb, on loan from Joseph of Arimathea. Day one was the day of the crucifixion. Day two was the Sabbath day. Day three was Sunday, the first day of the week, and by the time they arrived at the tomb to prepare the body for final burial, He was not there. The stone was rolled away, angels were present, the guards had fainted and fled, and Jesus was not there. On the third day, just as He promised, He had risen from the dead (Mark 9:31). Where do lies and myths about the resurrection lead us? Is the resurrection a crucial doctrine to believe? In answering these questions we see that without the resurrection there is no gospel!
