  • SPECIAL SESSION the Resurrection Is Central to the Faith
    SPECIAL SESSION The Resurrection is Central to the Faith SESSION SUMMARY Jesus’ resurrection points both backward and forward His followers. It points back to what Jesus has done in history through His life, death, and resurrection and God saving us and raising us spiritually. At the same time, Jesus’ resurrection points forward to the day when Christ will return and we will experience ultimate victory over sin and the final completion of our faith in Him. SCRIPTURE 1 Corinthians 15:1-28 46 Leader Guide / Special Session THE POINT Christianity stands or falls with the resurrection of Jesus. INTRO/STARTER 5-10 MINUTES Option 1 Over time, it has become popular in our culture to question even the possibility of miracles; however, of all the miracles that cause problems for those who reject the idea of them, Jesus’ resurrection is the most controversial, debated, and denied. Maybe some people find it easier to believe the parting of the Red Sea, manna appearing from heaven, or an endless supply of flour and oil than to believe in Jesus’ resurrection. Why is this one miracle so much more divisive than all the rest? Maybe because it is the one miracle that demands a personal decision about who Jesus is. The resurrection is essential to the gospel message because it displays God’s defense of the life and work of Jesus Christ. If you believe in the resurrection, then you are forced to believe Jesus is the Son of God. If you deny the resurrection, you continue in your rejection of Jesus. For this reason, the resurrection is one of the most important events in human history.

  • The Resurrection of Jesus in Mark E Bruce Brooks University of Massachusetts at Amherst SBL/NE (2006)
    81 The Resurrection of Jesus in Mark E Bruce Brooks University of Massachusetts at Amherst SBL/NE (2006) I have noted elsewhere1 that Mark includes material of different date. Some passages there considered proved to be part of larger strata. I here take up another set of passages which cohere in that way: those which predict or describe Jesus’ bodily resurrection after three days in the tomb. Surprisingly, there are only five of them: • Three recognized Passion Predictions, Mk 8:31!33, 9:31b–32, 10:32b–342 • A less often recognized fourth Passion Prediction, Mk 9:9b!13 • The Empty Tomb story, the whole ending of extant Mark, 15:40!16:8 There are signs that these are interpolated and thus late in Mark: that the story of the Resurrection – the Empty Tomb story – is a later theory and not a historical memory. At the end, I ask, Does Mark also preserve an earlier account of Jesus’ death? The Four Passion Predictions These can be removed without damage to context. So can many passages in Mark. More important, they interrupt or contradict their context. Here is a contradiction: Mk 8:27. And Jesus went forth, and his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea Philippi, and on the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Who do men say that I am? [28] And they told him, saying, John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but others, One of the prophets. [29] And he asked them, But who say ye that I am? Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.

  • Immediate Or Intermediate? the State of the Believer Upon Death Churchman 101/4 1987
    Immediate or Intermediate? The State of the Believer upon Death Churchman 101/4 1987 John Yates 1. Introduction Probably the best solution is the view that the moment of death for the believer is the last day for him or her because in death the Christian moves out of time, so that death is experienced as the moment when Christ returns.1 These words were penned by a prominent Australian Anglican Evangelical scholar in a text committed to helping contemporary Christians ‘get to grips with the basics of their faith.’2 Their significance lies not in their novelty3 but rather as an indicator of the growing influence of a (as yet) minority view about the timing of the resurrection.4 This position seeks through biblical exegesis and reasoned analysis to eliminate any need for postulating an ‘intermediate state’, that is a period of human existence between the death of the body and its resurrection. My purpose in this paper is threefold. (a) To demonstrate by exegesis that the locus classicus of New Testament interpretation on this subject, viz. 2 Corinthians 5: l-10, is at least compatible with the traditional view.5 (b) To show that theological and metaphysical considerations, especially the nature of time and eternity, compel us to retain the classical position. (c) To draw some conclusions for the methodology of Evangelical theology by reflecting upon the results of (a) and (b). 2. The Interpretation of 2 Corinthians 5: 1-106 In the epistles that precede the writing of 2 Corinthians Paul always speaks about himself as one who will survive until the Parousia.7 It is not that he had never previously considered the possibility of death8 but that an opportunity of escape had always offered itself in the midst of his trials.

  • “On the Third Day”: the Time Frame of Jesus' Death And
    JETS 56/3 (2013) 511–42 “ON THE THIRD DAY”: THE TIME FRAME OF JESUS’ DEATH AND RESURRECTION MARTIN PICKUP* I. INTRODUCTION The three-day time frame of Jesus’ death and resurrection was a part of the earliest Christian preaching. It had a place in the kerygmatic formula that Paul quotes in 1 Cor 15:3–5, a four-line formula that is generally acknowledged to have originated in the very earliest years of the Church.1 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.2 * Editor’s note: Martin Pickup unexpectedly passed away shortly after submitting this piece for pub- lication. This article reflects his interest and expertise in the Jewish background to the NT and in the early church’s proclamation of the bodily resurrection of Jesus. His family, friends, and many former students rejoice in the hope Marty defended with such skill in this article. “So also in Christ shall all be made alive” (1 Cor 15:22). 1 Scholars across the theological spectrum acknowledge the earliness of this formula. Most assign it a date of no more than two to five years after Jesus’ crucifixion. See, e.g., K. Lake, The Historical Evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ (London: Williams and Norgate, 1907) 37–43; J. J. Smith, “Resurrection Faith Today,” TS 30 (1969) 403–4; G.
