AN “A. D.” EASTER
![Page 3: Series jesus - part 7 - an a.d.- easter- 04-05-15 - presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ade4551a28abe76e8b462c/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
God undertook the most dramatic rescue operation
in cosmic history.
![Page 4: Series jesus - part 7 - an a.d.- easter- 04-05-15 - presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ade4551a28abe76e8b462c/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
He determined to save the human race from self-
destruction, and He sent His Son Jesus Christ to salvage
and redeem them.
![Page 5: Series jesus - part 7 - an a.d.- easter- 04-05-15 - presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ade4551a28abe76e8b462c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The work of man’s redemption was
accomplished at the cross.
![Page 6: Series jesus - part 7 - an a.d.- easter- 04-05-15 - presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ade4551a28abe76e8b462c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
But without the resurrection, the cross has absolutely no power or purpose.
(Billy Graham)

Easter shows us an Approachable Deity
![Page 8: Series jesus - part 7 - an a.d.- easter- 04-05-15 - presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ade4551a28abe76e8b462c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Christ entered the Most Holy Place only once—and for all time. He did not take
with him the blood of goats and calves.
![Page 9: Series jesus - part 7 - an a.d.- easter- 04-05-15 - presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ade4551a28abe76e8b462c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
His sacrifice was his own blood, and by it he set us free from sin
forever . . . Then Jesus cried in a loud voice and died.
![Page 10: Series jesus - part 7 - an a.d.- easter- 04-05-15 - presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ade4551a28abe76e8b462c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The curtain in the Temple was torn into two pieces,
from the top to the bottom. (Hebrews 9:11-12, Mark 15:37-38 – New Century Version)
![Page 11: Series jesus - part 7 - an a.d.- easter- 04-05-15 - presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ade4551a28abe76e8b462c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
And Christ became a human being and lived here on earth among us . . . No one has ever actually seen God, but his only Son has told us all about him.
(John 1:14, 18 – Living Bible)
![Page 12: Series jesus - part 7 - an a.d.- easter- 04-05-15 - presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ade4551a28abe76e8b462c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
He created all the people of the world . . . His purpose
in all of this is that they should seek after God,
![Page 13: Series jesus - part 7 - an a.d.- easter- 04-05-15 - presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ade4551a28abe76e8b462c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him—though he is not far from
any one of us. (Acts 17:26-27 – Living Bible)
![Page 14: Series jesus - part 7 - an a.d.- easter- 04-05-15 - presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ade4551a28abe76e8b462c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Jesus, our high priest, is able to understand our
weaknesses. When Jesus lived on earth, he was tempted in
every way.
![Page 15: Series jesus - part 7 - an a.d.- easter- 04-05-15 - presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ade4551a28abe76e8b462c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
He was tempted in the same ways we are tempted, but he
never sinned. With Jesus as our high priest, we can feel free to
come before God’s throne where there is grace.
![Page 16: Series jesus - part 7 - an a.d.- easter- 04-05-15 - presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ade4551a28abe76e8b462c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
There we receive mercy and kindness to help us
when we need it. (Hebrews 4:15-16 – Easy To Read Version)
![Page 17: Series jesus - part 7 - an a.d.- easter- 04-05-15 - presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ade4551a28abe76e8b462c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Easter underscores an Agonizing Death
![Page 18: Series jesus - part 7 - an a.d.- easter- 04-05-15 - presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ade4551a28abe76e8b462c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
He died a selfless, obedient death — and the worst kind
of death at that — a crucifixion. (Philippians 2:8 – The Message)
![Page 19: Series jesus - part 7 - an a.d.- easter- 04-05-15 - presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ade4551a28abe76e8b462c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
I give my back to the whip, and my cheeks to those who
pull out the beard. I do not hide from shame — they spit in
my face . . . He was pierced for our rebellion,
![Page 20: Series jesus - part 7 - an a.d.- easter- 04-05-15 - presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ade4551a28abe76e8b462c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole.
He was whipped so we could be healed . . . the LORD laid on him
the sins of us all.
![Page 21: Series jesus - part 7 - an a.d.- easter- 04-05-15 - presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ade4551a28abe76e8b462c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
He was oppressed and treated harshly . . . He was led like a lamb to the slaughter –
Unjustly condemned, he was led away . . . he was struck down for the rebellion of my people ...
![Page 22: Series jesus - part 7 - an a.d.- easter- 04-05-15 - presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ade4551a28abe76e8b462c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
it was the LORD’s good plan to crush him and cause him
grief . . . His life is made an offering for sin . . .
(Isaiah 50:6, 53:4-10 – Living Bible)
![Page 23: Series jesus - part 7 - an a.d.- easter- 04-05-15 - presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ade4551a28abe76e8b462c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Christ’s death was also a one-time event,
but it was a sacrifice that took care of sins forever.
(Hebrews 9:28 – The Message)
![Page 24: Series jesus - part 7 - an a.d.- easter- 04-05-15 - presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ade4551a28abe76e8b462c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Easter explodes into an Awesome Day
![Page 25: Series jesus - part 7 - an a.d.- easter- 04-05-15 - presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ade4551a28abe76e8b462c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Then they will hand him over to the Romans to be mocked,
flogged with a whip, and crucified. But on the third day
he will be raised from the dead. (Matthew 20:19 – New Living Translation)
![Page 26: Series jesus - part 7 - an a.d.- easter- 04-05-15 - presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ade4551a28abe76e8b462c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Early Sunday morning, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and found
that the stone was rolled aside from the entrance.
![Page 27: Series jesus - part 7 - an a.d.- easter- 04-05-15 - presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ade4551a28abe76e8b462c/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
She ran and found Simon Peter and me and said, “They have
taken the Lord’s body out of the tomb, and I don’t know where
they have put him!”
![Page 28: Series jesus - part 7 - an a.d.- easter- 04-05-15 - presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ade4551a28abe76e8b462c/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
We ran to the tomb to see; I outran Peter and got there first, and stooped and looked in and saw the linen cloth lying there,
but I didn’t go in.
![Page 29: Series jesus - part 7 - an a.d.- easter- 04-05-15 - presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ade4551a28abe76e8b462c/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Then Simon Peter arrived and went on inside. He also noticed the cloth lying there, while the swath that had covered Jesus’ head was rolled up in a bundle
and was lying at the side.
![Page 30: Series jesus - part 7 - an a.d.- easter- 04-05-15 - presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ade4551a28abe76e8b462c/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Then I went in too, and saw, and believed that he had risen for until then we hadn’t realized
that the Scriptures said he would come to life again!
(John 19:1-9 – Living Bible)
![Page 31: Series jesus - part 7 - an a.d.- easter- 04-05-15 - presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ade4551a28abe76e8b462c/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Easter leads us to an Amazing Discovery
![Page 32: Series jesus - part 7 - an a.d.- easter- 04-05-15 - presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ade4551a28abe76e8b462c/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
God is so rich in mercy; he loved us so much that even though we were spiritually dead and
doomed by our sins, he gave us back our lives again when he raised Christ from the dead—
![Page 33: Series jesus - part 7 - an a.d.- easter- 04-05-15 - presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ade4551a28abe76e8b462c/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
only by his undeserved favor have we ever been saved —
and lifted us up from the grave . . . all because of what Christ Jesus did.
![Page 34: Series jesus - part 7 - an a.d.- easter- 04-05-15 - presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ade4551a28abe76e8b462c/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
And now God can always point to us as examples of how very,
very rich his kindness is, as shown in all he has done for us through Jesus Christ.
![Page 35: Series jesus - part 7 - an a.d.- easter- 04-05-15 - presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ade4551a28abe76e8b462c/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Because of his kindness, you have been saved through
trusting Christ. And even trusting is not of yourselves;
it too is a gift from God.
![Page 36: Series jesus - part 7 - an a.d.- easter- 04-05-15 - presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ade4551a28abe76e8b462c/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Salvation is not a reward for the good we have done,
so none of us can take any credit for it.
(Ephesians 2:4-8 – Living Bible)
![Page 37: Series jesus - part 7 - an a.d.- easter- 04-05-15 - presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ade4551a28abe76e8b462c/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
When you were stuck in your old sin-dead life, you were
incapable of responding to God. God brought you alive—right along with Christ! Think of it!
![Page 38: Series jesus - part 7 - an a.d.- easter- 04-05-15 - presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ade4551a28abe76e8b462c/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
All sins forgiven, the slate wiped clean, that old arrest warrant
canceled and nailed to Christ’s cross.
(Colossians 2:14 – The Message)
![Page 39: Series jesus - part 7 - an a.d.- easter- 04-05-15 - presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ade4551a28abe76e8b462c/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Your old story ends with the cross, your
new story begins with the resurrection!
![Page 40: Series jesus - part 7 - an a.d.- easter- 04-05-15 - presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ade4551a28abe76e8b462c/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
