Ressurreição
A ressurreição é o pilar da fé cristã. Se Cristo não ressuscitou, é vã a nossa fé. Mas Ele venceu a morte, e essa é a garantia da nossa própria ressurreição.
Cristo ressuscitou
O túmulo está vazio! Os anjos declararam: 'Ele não está aqui; ressuscitou!' A ressurreição de Cristo é o fato mais transformador da história.
The angel does his duty
Now the angel spoke up and said to the women: "Do not be afraid! I know that you are looking for the Jesus who was crucified. He is not here, because He is risen, just like He said! Come, see the place where the Lord was lying.
But he said to them: "Don’t be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus the Natsarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He isn’t here! See, the place where they laid Him.
He is not here, but is risen! Remember how He told you while still in Galilee, saying, ‘The Son of the Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.’ "
John sees and believes
So then the other disciple went in too, the one who got to the tomb first; and he saw and believed. (For they did not yet know the Scripture, that He had to rise from among the dead.)
Because I transmitted to you at first that which 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,
Ressurreição e vida eterna
Jesus disse: 'Eu sou a ressurreição e a vida.' Quem crê nele viverá, mesmo que morra. A morte foi derrotada na cruz e no túmulo vazio.
Jesus said to her: "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes into me, though he may die, will live; and everyone who both lives and believes into me will never ever die. Do you believe this?"
For since death came through a man, resurrection of the dead also came through a man.
For Christ’s love impels us, having concluded this: if One died for all it follows that all died; and He died for all so that those who now live should no longer live for themselves but for the One who died for all and was raised again. Christ died begin with Romans 14:9, "that He might be Lord of both the dead and the living"; followed by this verse, that we should no longer live for ourselves, but for Him. Philippians 2:8-11 refers to the final victory. Hebrews 2:14 refers to destroying Satan; saving us from hell is a by-product. As it says in Romans 10:9, "if you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord…’, you will be saved".
Nossa esperança futura
A ressurreição de Cristo garante nossa esperança viva. O Deus de paz trouxe dos mortos o grande Pastor das ovelhas para nossa salvação.
so that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the sharing in His sufferings, becoming like Him in His death,
So then, having experienced the help that is from God, I stand to this day testifying to both small and great, saying nothing beyond what both the prophets and Moses said would happen —that the Messiah would suffer; that as the first to rise from the dead He would proclaim light to both ‘the people’ and the ethnic nations."
"Listen! We are going up to Jerusalem and the Son of the Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and scribes; and they will condemn Him to death, and they will hand Him over to the Gentiles to mock, to scourge and to crucify. And on the third day He will rise!"
