2. “These matters which have, to be sure, the appearance of wisdom in self-made religion and self-abasement and severe treatment of the body, but are of no value against fleshly indulgence.”
Colossians 2:23

4. The impact of Christ’s resurrection

5. CHRIST IS RISEN FROM THE DEAD.
Raised on the first day of the week (Matthew 28:1, 6, 11-15).
He is the Christ, the Son of God (Romans 1:3-5).
His teaching and word are to be obeyed (Matthew 28:18, 20).

6. CHRISTIANS PROCLAIM THEIR LORD’S RESURRECTION EVERY TIME THEY PROCLAIM THEIR SAVIOR’S DEATH.
Jesus’ institution of His memorial:
“But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father’s kingdom.” (Matthew 26:29)

7. CHRISTIANS PROCLAIM THEIR LORD’S RESURRECTION EVERY TIME THEY PROCLAIM THEIR SAVIOR’S DEATH.
Jesus’ institution of His memorial
Christians proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes (1 Corinthians 11:26).
Jesus’ weekly memorial is on the day He arose from the dead (Acts 20:7).

8. BECAUSE JESUS WAS RAISED, ALL MEN WILL BE RAISED ONE DAY.
By Christ, ALL will be made alive (1 Corinthians 15:22).
ALL will be judged by Christ (2 Corinthians 5:10).
God’s proof: our Judge was raised from the dead (Acts 17:31).
ALL will hear the voice of God’s Son and be raised (John :26-29).

9. BEFORE SHARING IN CHRIST’S RESURRECTION ONE MUST BE UNITED IN HIS DEATH.
We must die to sin and then live to God (Romans 6:5-11).
Execute to death our old sinful self…
Romans 6:4
Raised to walk in newness of life…
Romans 6:12-13, 19
