"Behold what a morning!" (John 20:1-23) by Gideon Mpeni - a podcast by gideon macgovern

"Behold what a Morning!"
An Easter Sunday. The third sermon of the Easter series by Pastor Gideon Mpeni
This is a record of the exclusive appearance of Jesus Christ to his own disciples, a dramatic day that turned hearts of these men and women
1. The Disciples Curious and yet Confused to believe the Scriptures (v.1-10)
2. Sorrow turned to Joy (v. 11-18)
3. The Cowards are commissioned (v.19-23)
4. Faith turned to sight (v.24-29)

Jesus’ death on the cross paid the penalty for our sin and was raised from the Grave. The result is forgiveness, justification, imputation of righteousness, and our acceptance as children into God’s family with Jesus as our Lord and brother.
Conversely, Scripture is clear that the resurrection of Jesus is both a matter of fact and faith. The historical fact is that Jesus Christ alone has risen from death.

Martin Luther: “Our Lord has written the promise of the resurrection not in words alone, but in every leaf in springtime.”

John R. Stott: “Christianity is in its very essence a resurrection religion. The concept of resurrection lies at its heart. If you remove it, Christianity is destroyed.”

As we Paul sums up in 1 Corinthians 15. There we are told that if Jesus did not bodily rise is victory over death, then Christianity is nothing more than a cruel hoax dreamt up by liars to give false hope to gullible fools.
