Come Out Of The Grave

It was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name.

Luke 24:46–47

History is replete with those who have had delusions of grandeur about themselves. Some have even been willing to die for their cause. But, like all men, they were defeated by death. If we dug up their graves, we’d find their dead bodies. But that’s what makes Jesus unique. He predicted His death, predicted His burial, and prophesied that one day He would come out of the grave victorious over death. Three days after His death, He did just that.

The Scriptures recorded it. All who have tried to disprove it have been defeated. Scientists, determined to destroy the Christian faith, have been unable, and many skeptics and atheists have been brought to faith after studying the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is one of the most thoroughly documented events in the world’s history.

Through His death we are redeemed, and through His blood our sin atoned, but all of that is meaningless if He did not come out of the grave. Christ’s resurrection validated what He did on the cross.
