HE IS RISEN!

I. The Empty Tomb

v5 Angel; Why do you seek the living among the dead?

Angels announces the most important and celebrated event in the life of the Christian; the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

Romans 4:25; He who was delivered over because of our wrongdoings, and was raised because of our justification.

The cross and the resurrection are joined at the hip.
The cross gives meaning to the resurrection!
The Resurrection authenticates Jesus’ work on the cross!

No verse in the Bible explains better what Jesus did on the cross than -

2 Corinthians 5:21; He made Him who knew no sin to be sin in our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

This verse has 4 key phrases and truths about what Jesus did for us on the cross
A. Christ our Passover

Phrase #1 - The Bible says God made Him who knew no sin.

It tells us the greatest person in history, Him who knew no sin, is obviously, the Lord Jesus Christ

The Bible is uncompromising in this 2 Corinthians claim that Jesus had no sin.

Hebrews 4:15; For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things just as we are, yet without sin.

John 8:46; Which one of you convicts Me of sin? If I speak truth, why do you not believe Me?

He is talking to His enemies here, not His friends…

• Bible tells us he frequented the temple in Jerusalem all the time, but the Bible never tells us He offered any sacrifice for His sin because He didn’t need to!

• Bible tells us Jesus prayed, Father, forgive them - but He nev-er prayed, Father forgive me - because He didn’t have to.

I Corinthians 5:7; Clean out the old leaven so that you may be a new lump, just as you are in fact unleavened. For Christ our Passover also has been sacrificed.

Our Passover, Jesus Christ, was sacrificed for us!
• Passover is all about God’s judgement of Pharaoh and the Egyptians in the 10th plaque, but God’s judgement passed over the Israelites who were covered by the blood of the Pass-over lamb on their door posts.

• In the same way, people who are covered by the blood of Je-sus Christ as their only payment for sin will see that God will pass over their sin in judgement just like He did for the Israel-ites.

Exodus 12:5; Your lamb shall be an unblemished male a year old; you may take it from the sheep or from the goats.

The point is for Jesus to be the Passover lamb for the entire hu-man race, who’s blood can protect every person alive from God’s judgement for sin, He has to be without defect - without sin of any kind - exactly how the Bible says that Jesus is.

B. By His wounds we are healed

Phrase #2 - God made him who knew no sin….to become sin on our behalf.

• The greatest transaction in history - carried out by the greatest person in history - He became sin on our behalf.

Isaiah 53:6; All of us, like sheep, have gone astray,
Each of us has turned to his own way;
But the Lord has caused the wrongdoing of us all
To fall on Him.

1 Peter 2:24; and He Himself brought our sins in His body up on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live for right-eousness; by His wounds you were healed.

He Himself bore our sins…

• A divine transaction which you and I will not ever fully un-derstand, God took the sins of the world and transferred them onto Jesus Christ so that He paid for my sins, He paid for your sins, as He hung there on the cross.

• It’s ok if you and I never understand this fully - in order for this transaction to be mine or to be yours - you don’t have to understand it fully - we don’t have to explain it - all we have to do for this transaction to be ours - is to believe & trust it!

II. Become Righteous in God’s Sight

Phrase #3 - God made Him who knew no sin - to become sin on our behalf - - That we might become righteous in God’s sight.
