Easter 2019 Will the Real Jesus Please Stand Up? Luke 24:1-9 Luke 24:1 (NLT) But very early on Sunday morning the women went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared. Luke 24:2 (NLT) They found that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance. Luke 24:3 (NLT) So they went in, but they didn’t find the body of the Lord Jesus. Luke 24:4 (NLT) As they stood there puzzled, two men suddenly appeared to them, clothed in dazzling robes. Luke 24:5 (NLT) The women were terrified and bowed with their faces to the ground. Then the men asked, “Why are you looking among the dead for Someone who is alive? Luke 24:6 (NLT) He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead! Remember what He told you back in Galilee, Luke 24:7 (NLT) that the Son of Man must be betrayed into the hands of sinful men and be crucified, and that He would rise again on the third day.” Luke 24:8 (NLT) Then they remembered that He had said this. Luke 24:9 (NLT) So they rushed back from the tomb to tell His eleven disciples—and everyone else—what had happened. The Cross and Resurrection prove who Jesus is. Romans 1:4 (NLT) And He was shown to be the Son of God when He was raised from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit. He is Jesus Christ our Lord. Luke 23:4 (NLT) Pilate turned to the leading priests and to the crowd and said, “I find nothing wrong with this Man!” Romans 4:25 (NLT) He was handed over to die because of our sins, and He was raised to life to make us right with God. Romans 6:23 (NLT) For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. Luke 24:5-6 (NLT) “Why are you looking among the dead for Someone who is alive? He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead!” Everyone who trusts in Jesus will be saved. John 1:12 (NLT) To all who believed Him and accepted Him, He gave the right to become children of God. John 6:37 (NLT) Those the Father has given Me will come to Me, and I will never reject them. Luke 23:42 (NLT) Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your Kingdom.” Luke 23:43 (NLT) And Jesus replied, “I assure you, today you will be with Me in paradise.” Only those who trust in Jesus will be saved. John 14:6 (NLT) I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through Me. No one will end up in Heaven or Hell by accident. John 3:16 (NLT) For this is how God loved the world: He gave His one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. 2 Peter 3:9 (NLT) He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent. God invites you to trust in Christ. Romans 10:9 (NLT) If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:10 (NLT) For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved.
