Theme Study: The Resurrection by Jim & Debbie Ehrhard

January 17, 2010 by ADMIN

Preface to the Study

Nothing in Christianity is of greater importance than the resurrection of Jesus Christ.  The resurrection of Jesus makes Christianity unique among all the other religions of the world.  Every other religion has its founders and holy men, but none but Christianity has a Risen Savior!  This is why Peter said, “Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).  Such a statement is not narrow-minded or arrogant.  It is a simple fact—no one else has died for sins and risen from the dead.  As a National Chinese friend of mine always says, “If you can find a better savior, serve him!”  You won’t; you can’t—there is but one who is risen from the dead—Jesus Christ, our savior.

Christ’s resurrection is essential for our salvation.  If Jesus is not risen from the dead, then his payment for sins was not acceptable to the Father.  As Paul notes: “”If Christ be not raised, then your faith is in vain and you are still in your sins” (1 Corinthians 15:17).  His resurrection also proves his claim to be the Son of God (Romans 1:3-4).  His resurrection also insures our resurrection.  In 1 Corinthians 6:14, Paul connects our resurrection with his: “And God raised the Lord and will also raise us up by his power.”   Similarly in 2 Corinthians 4:14, he says, “he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and bring us with you into his presence.”  His resurrection also provides strength for life.  In Philippians 3:10, Paul speaks about “the power of his resurrection” as a regular source of strength.  And his resurrection gives us reason to continue to serve him each day and hope for the life to come!

We hope that the various articles in this issue will remind you of the importance and power of the resurrection of Jesus.  May you know the power and the presence of our risen Savior in your lives every day!

To God be the Glory, alone and forever!

By His Grace, Jim & Debbie
