Session 4
We now know why Yeshua had to die and there are several occasions recorded in Scripture where Yeshua spoke of His having to die and even how He would die: Matthew 16:21; John 12:27; Luke 18:31-33.
Session 4 Keynote
It's accepted as historical fact that Yeshua died on the Cross, but the stumbling block comes when we think of His resurrection. So let’s look at the evidence:
His Tomb was Empty
Luke 24:1-3; John 20:1-10 Both passages describe what the group of women found. Each has details that suggest eye witness accounts.
What are the alternatives?
Did the women go to the wrong tomb?
Matthew 27:61; Mark 15:47; Luke 23:55
Was the Body stolen?
By the Disciples, the Authorities, grave Robbers?
Why was this unlikely?
What were the guards told to do?
Was Yeshua really dead — had He simply recovered?
Mark 15:42-47
What did the soldiers do to make sure that He was dead? (John 19:34)
Yeshua met His Disciples after He had Risen
Who are the people Yeshua met?
Yeshua's Disciples were Changed:
Before:
Luke 22:54-62; Luke 24:13-21; John 20:19-25
What were the disciples like before they knew Yeshua was alive?
After:
Luke 24:25-35; John 20:26-29; Acts 2; Acts 4
What were the disciples like after they knew Yeshua was alive?
Yeshua's Resurrection confirms His claims:
Luke 9:21-22; Luke 18:31-34; John 2:18-22
