This part of Jesus' path was proclaimed for many centuries, yet no one believed it until they could touch his wounded hands.

6.  We watched for the Coming of the Messiah.
 We saw His Birth at Bethlehem.
 We witnessed the Visitation of the Magi.
 We were present at His Baptism.
 We observed His sojourn on the desert and His
temptation.
 We attended His triumphal entry into Jerusalem.
 We were at His Last Supper.
 And…

7. We saw His suffering and death on the Cross.

8. Is Jesus’ Crucifixion…

10. Last time we asked - Why do
people suffer and die?
Where is God when we are
hurting?
To answer the mystery that
surrounds our own suffering,
we need to understand the
suffering of God.
Until we understand God’s
suffering, we can never
understand our own.

12. “God so loved the world that He gave His only
begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him
should not perish but have everlasting life.”
John 3:16

13. Our suffering has meaning because He
suffered for us, took all our sins upon
Himself, and died the death we should have
died, so that we might live instead.
…live instead.

17. His Life
could not be
held by
death
Jesus rose from the
dead, as He said.
The Third Day from
His crucifixion, the
stone door was
opened at the
appearing of
angels.
Jesus came out of
the tomb alive!

18. Is it true?
Can you and I count on it?
Is there a basis in Scripture, in fact, for the
Resurrection?

20. Oh, that my words were written! Oh, that
they were inscribed in a book! For I know
that my Redeemer lives, And He shall
stand at last on the earth; And after my
skin is destroyed, this I know, That in my
flesh I shall see God, Whom I shall see for
myself, And my eyes shall behold, and not
another. Job 19:23-27

21. Oh, that my words were written! Oh, that

stand at last on the earth; And after my
skin is destroyed, this I know, That in my
flesh I shall see God, Whom I shall see for
myself, And my eyes shall behold, and not
another. Job 19:23-27

22. Because He is at my right hand
I shall not be moved. Therefore my heart is
glad, and my glory rejoices; My flesh also
will rest in hope. For You will not leave my
soul in Sheol, Nor will You allow Your Holy
One to see corruption. Psalm 16:8-10

23. Because He is at my right hand
I shall not be moved. Therefore my heart is
glad, and my glory rejoices; My flesh also
will rest in hope. For You will not leave my
soul in Sheol, Nor will You allow Your Holy
One to see corruption. Psalm 16:8-10

24. God will redeem my soul from the
power of the grave, For He shall
receive me. Psalm 49:15

25. He will swallow up death forever, And the Lord GOD will wipe
away tears from all faces. Isaiah 25:8
Your dead shall live; Together with my dead body they shall
arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in dust. Isaiah 26:19

26. )
I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will
redeem them from death. O Death, I will be your
plagues! O Grave, I will be your destruction! Hosea 13:14

30. On that Sunday,
several of His
followers saw him
alive.
Two men, Cleopas and
one other, were going
to Emmaus, about 2
hours walk, and they
encountered Jesus,
though they didn’t
know Him at first. He
chided them for their
lack of understanding,
and then led them
through a two hour
Bible study, showing
why Messiah had to
suffer and what the
Resurrection means.

31. Two hours with
Jesus
and the Bible.
Wouldn’t you love to
have been with them
and listened closely to
find out what the Old
Testament really
means?
Later, they would say
to each other, “Did
not our heart burn
within us while He
talked with us on the
road, and while He
opened the Scriptures
to us?” Luke 24:32

32. At the fall of
mankind, God
told Satan,
“I will put enmity
Between you and the
woman, And between
your seed and her
Seed; He shall bruise
your head, And you
shall bruise His heel.”
Gen 3:15
Jesus is that seed of
the woman, the
second Eve: Mary,
His Virgin Mother.
It is fulfilled.

33. God halted
Abraham when in
obedience he was
ready to sacrifice
Isaac, his son
And God commended
Abraham, proclaiming,
“In your seed all the
nations of the earth
shall be blessed,
because you have
obeyed My voice.” Gen
22:18 Jesus is Abraham’s
descendant who
blesses all people with
the way to salvation.
It is fulfilled.

34. God commanded
a lamb for His
Passover
The Hebrews roasted
and ate lamb when
seeking to leave
Egypt, and every year
thereafter. Jesus was
the Lamb of God who
takes away the sins of
the world. Not a bone
of His was broken.
It is fulfilled.

35. God commanded
lamb’s blood on
the doorposts to
save His people
from death.
Jesus’ Blood on a
wooden Cross
becomes for us our
shelter from eternal
death through His
perfect sacrifice.
It is fulfilled.

36. God led his
people to the red
sea and parting
the waters, cut
them off from
Egypt
Jesus commanded
Baptism, its waters
cutting us off from
our former sins and
leading us into His
Promised Land.
It is fulfilled.

37. King david was
promised an heir
who would rule on
his throne forever
Jesus was born of the
blood of David, from
His mother, Mary.
And he was inheritor
of the throne of David
by His adoptive
father, Joseph.
It is fulfilled.

38. King David
described in detail
a crucifixion he felt
himself
“They pierced My
hands and My feet; I
can count all My
bones. They look and
stare at Me. They
divide My garments
among them, And for
My clothing they cast
lots.” Psalm 22:16-18
It is fulfilled.

39. Isaiah saw that the
messiah would
suffer and die for
the sins of all men.
“Yet we esteemed
Him stricken, Smitten
by God, and afflicted.
But He was wounded
for our transgressions,
He was bruised for
our iniquities; The
chastisement for our
peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we
are healed.”
Isaiah 53:4-5
It is fulfilled.

40. The prophet Hosea
declared
“Come, and let us
return unto the
LORD: for he hath
torn, and he will heal
us; he hath smitten,
and he will bind us
up. After two days
will he revive us: in
the third day he will
raise us up, and we
shall live in his sight.”
Hosea 6:1-2
Jesus rose on the
third day from the
grave.
It is fulfilled.

41. For the first time ever, these revelations of God
were put together and they showed clearly Jesus’
life and ministry, foretold.

43. “Why are you troubled? And why do doubts arise in your
hearts? Behold My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself.
Handle Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones
as you see I have.” Luke 24:38-39

44. Jesus is truly alive, even as we are.
And more so, because He will not die
again.
He cannot be sick or injured .
He will not suffer any more physical
pain.
Joy eternal is His as He awaits the
arrival of His long sought Bride.
He is not an apparition.
He is not a mere spirit.
He is not an angel.
He is forever God and man, alive.
And in His resurrection we find the
promised fulfilled of our own eternal
life.

46. His Cup
Our Cup
Matthew 26:39 “O my
Father, if it be
possible, let this cup
pass from me:
nevertheless not as I
will, but as thou wilt.”
Matthew 20:20-23 Then came to him the
mother of Zebedee's children with her sons,
worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing
of him. And he said unto her, What wilt
thou? She saith unto him, Grant that these
my two sons may sit, the one on thy right
hand, and the other on the left, in thy
kingdom. But Jesus answered and said, Ye
know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of
the cup that I shall drink of, and to be
baptized with the baptism that I am baptized
with? They say unto him, We are able. And
he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of
my cup, and be baptized with the baptism
that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right
hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but
it shall be given to them for whom it is
prepared of my Father.
