NKJV& AMP

SERMON TEXT:

Luke 24:1-8 NKJV

1 Now on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they, and certain other women with them, came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared.

2 But they found the stone rolled away from the tomb.

3 Then they went in and did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

4 And it happened, as they were greatly perplexed about this, that behold, two men stood by them in shining garments.

5 Then, as they were afraid and bowed their faces to the earth, they said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead?

6 He is not here, but is risen! Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee,

7 saying, ‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.’ ”

8 And they remembered His words.

Luke 24:1-8 AMP

1 But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, the women went to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared [to finish anointing the body].

2 And they found the [large, circular] stone rolled back from the tomb,

3 but when they went inside, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

4 While they were perplexed and wondering about this, suddenly, two men in dazzling clothing stood near them;

5 and as the women were terrified and were bowing their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why are you looking for the living One among the dead?

6 He is not here, but has risen. Remember how He told you, while He was still in Galilee,

7 saying that the Son of Man must be handed over to sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise [from death to life].”

8 And they remembered His words,

I.                       At The Heart Of Easter Is The Profound Message Of Hope, Redemption, And Unconditional Love Found In The Resurrection Of Jesus Christ!

II.               By Dying On The Cross And Then Rising From The Dead, Jesus Defeats Satan, Sin, and Death, Securing Our Salvation And Providing A Way For Us To Be Reconciled To God.

III.       I Serve A Risen Savior! You Ask Me How I Know He Lives? He Lives Within My Heart!
