Christ Is Risen, Part 1 (John 20:1–10)
John, chapter 20. We come in chapter 20 to the resurrection of our Lord Jesus. So everything from here to the end of the gospel of John – just two more chapters – is about the risen Christ, the risen Christ. You need to understand that the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ is not just a feature of Christianity, it is the main event; it is the main event.
Resurrection is the point of redemption. The whole purpose of God in creating and redeeming His people is to raise them to eternal glory so that they can worship Him forever. That is the point of His redemption – resurrection to eternal glory in not only glorified spirits, but glorified bodies. Our resurrection is secured by the power of God, the power of Christ demonstrated in His resurrection. Because He lives, we will live.
