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.
5 But the messenger, answering, said unto the womenBe not, ye, afraid! For I know that, Jesus the crucified, ye are seeking:6 He is not here, for he hath arisen, as he said. Come! see the place where he lay;
6 But, he, saith unto themBe not alarmed! Jesus, ye are seeking, the Nazarene, the crucified: He hath arisen! he is not here,See! the place where they laid him!
6 Remember how he spake unto you while yet he was in Galilee:7 Saying, as to the Son of Man, that he must needs be delivered up into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified,and, on the third day, arise.
8 Then, entered, therefore, the other disciple also, who had come first unto the tomb, and he saw and believed.9 For, not yet, knew they the Scripture, that he must needs, from among the dead, arise.
3 For I delivered unto you, among the first things, what also I received:how that Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures,4 And that he was buried, and that he hath been 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.
25 Jesus said unto herI, am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth on me, even though he die, shall live again!26 And, no one who liveth again and believeth on me, shall in anywise die, unto times age-abiding. Believest thou this?
21 For, since indeed, through a man, came death, through a man, also cometh the raising of the dead;
14 For, if we believe that, Jesus, died, and rose again, so, also will, God, bring forth with him, them who have fallen asleep through Jesus;
14 For, the love of the Christ, constraineth us;15 Having judged this,that, one, in behalf of all, died, hence, they all, died; and, in behalf of all, died he,in order that, they who live, no longer for themselves, should live, but for him who, in their behalf, died and rose again.
5 For, if we have come to be grown together in the likeness of his death, certainly, in that of his resurrection also, shall we be.6 Of this taking notethat, our old man, was crucified together with him in order that the sinful body might be made powerless, that we should, no longer, be in servitude to sin;
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.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who, according to his great mercy, hath regenerated us unto a living hope, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from among the dead,
21 Which in manner corresponding, doth, now, save, you alsoeven immersion,not a putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the request unto God, for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
20 But, the God of peace, He that led up from among the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep, with the blood of an age-abiding covenant,our Lord Jesus,21 Fit you, by every good work, for the doing of his will, doing within us, that which is well-pleasing, before him through Jesus Christ: to whom be the glory, unto the ages of ages. Amen.
10 To get to know him, and the power of his resurrection and fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed unto his death,
6 Happy and holy, is he that hath part in the first resurrection: upon these, the second death, hath no authority; but they shall be priests of God and of the Christ, and shall reign with him for the thousand years.
12 And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne; and, books, were opened, and, another book, was opened, which is, the book, of life; and the dead, were judged, out of the things written in the books, according to their works.13 And the sea gave up the dead that were in it, and, death and hades, gave up the dead that were in them; and they were judged, each one, according to their works.
22 So then, having met with, the help that is from God, until this day, do I stand, witnessing to both small and great, nothing else saying, than those things which both the prophets, and Moses, did say should certainly come to pass:23 If, to suffer, the Christ was destined, if, the first of a resurrection of the dead, he is about to carry tidings, of light, both unto the people, and unto the nations.
18 Lo! we are going up unto Jerusalem; and, the Son of Man, will be delivered up unto the chief-priests and Scribes, and they will condemn him, to death ,19 And deliver him up unto the nations, to mock and to scourge and to crucify,and, on the third day, he will, arise.
