SATURDAY- 6^TH WEEK OF EASTER -B

I Reading: Acts 18:23-28: Apollos demonstrated from the scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.

Gospel: John 16:23-28: The Father loves you for loving me and believing.

The Resurrection and Its Effects Foretold, Jn 16:23-28

This is one the great passages on the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and it is one the glorious passages in all Scripture. It is one of those passages that lays out more than human could ever imagine. Jesus revealed and proclaimed the resurrection and its effects upon the world.

1. The resurrection gives open access into God’s presence (v.23-24)

a. The glorious promise

b. The institution of prayer “in Jesus’ name”

2. The resurrection reveals all about the Father (v.25-27)

a. The resurrection shows and declares the Father clearly

b. The resurrection shows that the approach to God is “in Jesus”

c. The resurrection shows that the Father Himself loves the believer

3. The resurrection validates the Messiahship of Jesus (v.28)

Thought: The peace and joy of God come only through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, only through His conquest and victory over sin and death.
