The Session: The Implications of Jesus' Death on the Cross

Happy Easter!  He is risen!  In this episode, we talk about the importance of Jesus rising from the grave.  It won't sound like it at first, but we really will get there....The Session:  Implications From Jesus Victory On The CrossWhy are you looking in the place of the dead for someone who is alive?  He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: 'The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again. Another example of the same from death to life Luke 24:5-7 Easter traditions in your family?  Would you view family traditions here as important as family traditions at Christmas? **Scott: for me, music has more meaning at Easter than it does at Christmas.  I think it’s because it’s not as “secularized”.  Sandi Patty, “Morning Like This”, Michael W.

No man comes under the Father, but through me. John 14:6The Resurrection gives us victory over sin and death· How we thank God, who gives us victory over sin and death through Jesus Christ our Lord! 1 Corinthians 15:57The Enemy is defeated· Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery. Hebrews 2:14-15Spiritual Warfare· Every moment in time is claimed by God encounter claimed by the enemy on the battlefield of the mind.· This is why we need to “renew” our mind, to make a conscious decision to follow God daily. Rom. 12:2 How is the Resurrection helpful?:· For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
