Yes the tomb which was sealed by the Roman emperor s mark, meant that anyone cought tampering would face death. There were over 5,000 people who saw Jesus alive after Easter.
In John 11:25 Jesus says 'I am the resurrection, and the life, he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live'. He is the resurrection, the blessed hope of every Christian.Resurrection demonstrated that God accepted Jesus' sacrifice on our behalf. It guarantees that those who believe in Christ will not remain dead, but will be resurrected unto eternal life. That is our blessed hope
The story of Lazarus in the Bible is significant because it demonstrates Jesus' power over death and his ability to bring the dead back to life. It relates to the themes of faith and resurrection by showing how faith in Jesus can lead to the resurrection of the dead, both physically and spiritually. The story highlights the importance of believing in Jesus as the source of eternal life and the promise of resurrection for those who have faith in him.
John 5:28-29 Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment. . .
The salvific meaning of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ lies in the belief that His sacrifice on the cross atoned for humanity's sins, providing a pathway to reconciliation with God. Through His resurrection, Jesus conquered death, offering eternal life to those who believe in Him. This event signifies not only the victory over sin and death but also the promise of hope and redemption for believers. Ultimately, it underscores the core Christian message of love, grace, and salvation.
Yes! The Book of Mormon references the resurrection of Jesus Christ long before the event actually took place. In 2 Nephi chapter 9 (estimated to be written in 559 BC) we learn that it has been the plan of God from the beginning that there should be a resurrection brought about by the atonement of a Savior, who is Jesus Christ. In Jacob chapter 4 (estimated to be written in 544 BC), the atonement and resurrection of Jesus Christ is also mentioned. In the book of Mosiah, chapter 15 (estimated to be written in 148 BC) the doctrine of resurrection is discussed. Here, we learn that Jesus Christ will break the bonds of death, that He will be resurrected, and that through Him all others will be resurrected. Jesus' resurrection is also discussed in chapter 18. In Alma chapter 40 (estimated to be written in 74 BC), the doctrine of resurrection and the event of Christ's resurrection is discussed in further detail. Helaman chapter 14 (estimated to be written in 6 BC) teaches that "the resurrection of Christ redeemeth mankind." and foretells what those on the American continent will experience at the time of Christ's death and resurrection. The 3 Nephi tells of the events that occurred in the Americas at the time of Jesus Christ's death and resurrection, but does not repeat the Bible story of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. It describes a period of three days darkness taking place during the time Christ was in the tomb, and tells the story of the resurrected Christ visiting the Book of Mormon peoples several months after His resurrection. The later books of Mormon and Moroni, written a few hundred years after the life of Christ, remind us that we should have hope in the power of the resurrection of Christ.
The Old Testament is centered around the Law and is full of promises. The New Testament, with the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus, is the fulfillment of those promises.
Jesus saved mankind by his death on the cross. Every person that has ever lived and/or will live on Earth is saved. So he helps everybody.
Those who believe in Christianity believe that Jesus rose, body and soul, from the dead. That he was a living body still was proved for them when the apostle Thomas touched the wounds on Jesus's body and put his hand into the hole in his side.
Jesus said it at John 11:25-26
Yes.Without the resurrection of Jesus there would be no gospel.Just as Jesus rose from death to a new life so the believer will rise to a new life after death. Jesus is called the first fruits, he is the first to have a resurrected body1Co 15:20 But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.Also the Christian's hope of eternal life is based only on the death and resurrection of Jesu1Jn 5:11 And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.1Jn 5:12 He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.This is the good news - the gospel
The Bible is fundamental in understanding who Jesus is, as his teachings and life are written about by those who lived alongside him in at least 4 "books" and all the background for us to understand why he did what he did and where he did it, is in the rest of the Bible.
YES!! Mormons (members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) do believe that Jesus Christ lived on the earth. They believe the Bible is the word of God, which speaks of Jesus living and teaching among those who lived in the area around modern-day Israel. They also believe that The Book of Mormon is the word of God, which is about Jesus Christ coming to visit those who lived on the American continent after his ressurrection and ascencion.
