The other side of the cross

Q: What does the Bible say about the resurrection of Jesus?

The Bible states that Jesus rose physically from the dead, a cornerstone of Christian faith for believers. The resurrection of Jesus is central to Christian doctrine, as emphasized in passages like 1 Corinthians 15, where Paul declares that if Christ is not risen, our faith is in vain. This physical resurrection confirms Jesus as the true Messiah and demonstrates God's acceptance of His sacrifice. The resurrection is not only a pivotal event in history but also offers believers the hope of their own resurrection, as Christ is seen as the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep in death. Understanding Jesus' resurrection assures believers that victory over sin and death is secure.

Q: How do we know Jesus' resurrection is true?

Historical eyewitness accounts and prophecies affirm the truth of Jesus' resurrection. The truth of Jesus' resurrection is supported by multiple eyewitness accounts recorded in the Gospels. Notably, He appeared to over 500 people at one time after His resurrection, which is documented in 1 Corinthians 15. Furthermore, prophetic scriptures from the Old Testament foretold the Messiah's resurrection, establishing confidence in the fulfillment of God's promises. The physical nature of Jesus' resurrected body, which the apostles touched and handled, reinforces that this was not a mere spiritual resurrection but a literal event that verifies the foundation of the Christian faith.

Q: Why is the resurrection of Jesus important for Christians?

Jesus' resurrection is vital as it guarantees believers' salvation and eternal life. For Christians, the resurrection of Jesus is crucial because it assures both the forgiveness of sins and the promise of eternal life. As Paul noted, if Christ did not rise, believers remain in their sins, and our faith is worthless. His resurrection signifies His victory over sin and death, inviting believers into a relationship with Him and the hope of their own resurrection. The repeated affirmations in scripture that Christ will raise those who trust in Him further solidify the importance of His resurrection in the life of a believer, grounding their faith in a living Savior who intercedes for them.

Q: What does the Bible say about suffering as a Christian?

The Bible teaches that suffering is a part of the Christian life, leading to spiritual growth and blessings. Scripture acknowledges that suffering is intrinsic to the Christian experience, with passages like 1 Peter 4:12-13 encouraging believers not to be surprised by trials. Jesus exemplified this, enduring profound suffering to fulfill His mission. In our suffering, believers are reminded of Christ's companionship during trials and the blessings that arise from these experiences. Difficulty often deepens our faith, teaching dependence on God's grace and leading to a closer relationship with Him. Ultimately, suffering serves a purpose, shaping character and demonstrating God's faithfulness.

I'd like us to turn together to the chapter that we read, the Gospel according to Luke, chapter 24, and the text you'll find in verses 38 and 39. And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? And why do thoughts arise in your hearts? Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Handle me and see. for a spirit hath not flesh and bones as you see me have.

One remarkable difference that separates Christianity from every other religion upon the face of the earth is that we have a risen saviour. Our prophet does not lie in a grave. Our prophet, priest and king, the Lord Jesus Christ, rose again from the dead and he was witnessed, he showed himself to above 500 people. Not at a distance, not as a glimpse of far off, but as a a close friend to his beloved brethren.

He says to them, behold my hands and my feet, it is I myself, handle me and see. Lord Jesus Christ rose again in a glorified body, a body that is very difficult for us to grasp, a body that can appear in a closed room, yet a body that can be handled and felt. a body that still showed the evidences of his love to his people by having the wounds in his hands, the wounds in his feet, and the wound in his side. And these were the evidences that he showed to his apostles, that he was the real Jesus, the Jesus that we witnessed this morning in the Garden of Gethsemane being in an agony, Praying to the Father that if it is possible, let this cup pass from me nevertheless, not my will be done. This Jesus that was sweating great drops of blood, this Jesus that was pronounced guiltless before the judgment hall, this Jesus that was crucified by the hands of evil men, having done no sin, having done no crime, This Jesus that was crucified between two thieves to fulfill a prophecy regarding himself.

This same Jesus that was laid in the tomb, that people saw him being laid in the tomb. He was not switched. He was bound by his friends with an abundance of spices. He was laid in the tomb. This Jesus that was sealed in the tomb, that they made it as sure as they could. They guarded, set the guards outside the tomb.

This Jesus that they tried to do everything to get rid of him, even killing him, this Jesus is now risen, as says the scriptures. and he first obviously appears to Mary as we see in the Garden of Gethsemane, sorry, outside of the tomb. He appears unto her, then he comes and he appears to those who were on the road to Emmaus, then he appears to the rest of the apostles. And so we saw this morning of the Lord Jesus Christ prior, passing through that great tribulation, that great trial. in the garden, but now we see him the other side of the cross, having accomplished all that the Father had given him to do, having been the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world, having been that perfect substitute for sinners, having been that beloved Son of God whom he made sin for his people. We now see him at the other side of the cross.

He had to go through it. Often in our own lives, as we looked at Simon Peter and the others, they were called to pass through trials. There was those temptations laid in their way. Some of them, they succumbed to those temptations and they sinned. Others, they were able to resist those temptations, especially as we look into the New Testament and they are indwelt and filled with the Holy Spirit of God. There are times of much opposition and persecution. Our flesh, as Jesus says, the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. Our flesh despises the hardness of the way, the hardness of the Christian pathway.

And often we look for shortcuts, ways to escape or bypass our trials. We enjoy bypasses as we're driving. We don't want to drive through the towns and the villages. We enjoy a swift, quick journey. Often when you are bypassing towns and bypassing villages, you miss out on some beauty. You miss out on experiencing the history of this country. There's so much to see as you pass through the villages and towns. And the bypass just takes you on your journey quickly. And so when we look to bypass our trials, as we look for quick ways or quick fixes for the problems that we are passing through, often we are missing out on the true purpose of the trial.

The Lord Jesus Christ could not bypass the cross experience. He could not bypass the garden of Gethsemane. He could not bypass the grave. He could not bypass the forsakenness of the Father, the rejection of the Father upon the cross. He had to pass through every single part of that experience to bring about the great blessing of salvation.

Maybe there's one of you here tonight and you are passing through a trial and you're looking for an easy way out. You're looking for a quick fix to the problem. but the Lord will have you go through it. You cannot bypass it. Within the trial, there is purpose. Within the trial, there is blessing. Within the trial, there is experience. Within the trial, there is teaching for you as an individual Christian in your walk with the Lord Jesus Christ.

Christ could not bypass his suffering. And you and I, we cannot bypass our suffering. It's in the suffering that we often experience great blessings of God. we experience great encounters and great help with the Holy Spirit and great encouragement in the world. If you look back over your life and you look at difficult times, times when you can say, yeah, that year was a difficult year or that month was a difficult month. But as a Christian, if you look back at those times, you will see and experience the closeness of God. You will experience, you will have experienced the Lord's help, the Lord's strength and the Lord's blessing. times of trouble, often it's the calendars, the tear-offs, they become a real encouragement to the Lord's people on a specific day. It seems to be so suitable. or a daily reading is so apt and we mark it in our diary and we may mark it on the page and say this date and I was passing through this difficulty and this word was such a blessing and such a help to me and if you hadn't been passing through that difficulty you would have just skimmed over the readings or the scriptural readings or you may look at a certain sermon And you may have come to the chapel being in great despair or wondering what you're going to do.

And the minister is somehow led into your experience. And he's able to preach. And through the preaching, through the ministry of the word, you feel strengthened and encouraged. There was once a lady who came to a service and as the minister was praying, he was praying in a specific way for a certain type of person. And that prayer gave that woman immediate strength. She felt that the Lord answered that prayer immediately and strength was given to her.

There was another lady that spoke to me once and she said that, you know, she was so tired and there's so much housework to do. And she was laying on the sofa and she was thinking, well, how am I going to do all this? I feel so tired. And she said, I've been praying to the Lord for strength and I don't seem to have any strength.

And she thought to herself, you know, well, maybe if I get up, If I get up, then I may feel the Lord's strength. The Lord may help me as I go about the daily task. And that's what she did. The Lord answered her prayer. She got up and she began to do her daily duties and felt the strength of God as she continued. And she was encouraged. And so that is a memory she can look back on. She can look back and see an answer to prayer, an encouragement to continue. She didn't just lay aside, but continued on in the work that she had to do.

And so there is no quick fixes for the Lord's people. we must pass through trial, we must pass through much tribulation and it is in those experiences that we experience the blessing and favour and help of God. As we look at the Lord Jesus Christ, it was a painful experience. Just because the Lord is with us in a certain situation does not mean that every pain and difficulty is removed from us. But we are given the grace and strength to bear those afflictions.

And so as we see the Lord Jesus Christ, as we saw him this morning on one side of the cross, being in an agony, here we see him on the other side of the cross, resurrected with the marks of the cross still upon his glorified body, but he is risen again. Verse six, he says, the angel says to the The women, he is not here, but is risen.

Remember how he spake unto you when he was yet at Galilee, that the son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and rise again the third day. And they remembered his word. Verse 12, and Peter arose and ran unto the sepulchre and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves and departed wondering in himself. that which was come to pass. Verse 15, it came to pass that while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near and went with them, but their eyes were holden that they did not know him.

Verse 34, as they have seen the Lord Jesus as he has revealed himself to them, they return and they say, the Lord is risen indeed and appeared unto Simon. As I looked at this verse, I don't know if you've noticed that it says, he appeared unto Simon. Yet, if you look in the gospels, it's not actually recorded as when he appeared to Simon, but there was, there must have been an individual instance in the life of Simon Peter in that after Christ had risen again, that he appeared unto him in a specific way. Why is that? We look at Peter and the trial that he went through as he succumbed to temptation, as he denied the Lord Jesus Christ those three times, as he ran away in bitterness of soul and repentance over his sin. The Lord Jesus Christ appeared to him individually to show his love towards him. As Peter comes to the grave, Jesus is not there. then we read in verse 34, has appeared unto Simon.

You see the Lord Jesus Christ, his look to Peter was not a look of hatred, maybe it was a look of sadness. Think of all that the Lord Jesus Christ had done for Peter. You think of a loving heavenly father. You think of a loving father in disciplining their children. It doesn't come as a great joy to them to discipline them. It is a painful experience. And so when Christ has to turn and look to the repentant or to the sinful Peter, His look towards him is a look of love and fatherly discipline and displeasure. And that look breaks Peter.

Oh, to have a sensitive conscience like that, a conscience that realises that when we do sin, Christ sees and and having the response of brokenness. I think I told you before recently that when I was first converted, sin became, it was, I hated it so much. I was so sensitive I hated sinning and upsetting the Lord Jesus. He seemed so real to me and having been so kind to me in his redeeming love towards me. And as I recognized sin in my life, it would break me.

But over time, it's like you become hardened and callous towards it. I ought to be brought back to that sensitivity. I've told you before, I've used the example of bricklayers and their hands. When you've been bricklaying for years, your hands become very calloused. If you shake a bricklayer's hands, they're very rough. Becomes unfeeling.

And our hearts can become like that to sin. We become used to seeing it. We become used to hearing it. We become used to even committing it and we become callous. And we need a fresh look to the Lord Jesus Christ to have that sensitive spirit, to look at him in the garden and to see him in an agony, to look at him sweating those great drops of blood, not for sins of his own, but for the sins of his people. to look at him upon the cross at Calvary saying, my God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Not for the sins of him his self, but for the sins of his people abandoned there upon the cross. Why does it not cause us to hate sin the more? To know that our sin has been paid by the spotless Lamb of God.

And so Jesus Christ, he could not bypass his suffering, because he must pass through the suffering to redeem his people. But in that work of redemption, his people are greatly blessed, blessed with the salvation of their souls. Jesus' suffering. had now stopped. He was resurrected in a glorified body. But the suffering of his people was to continue.

We saw this morning when Jesus said to the apostles, that they were, that when he sent them out without purse and script, did they lack anything? And they said nothing in Luke 22. And he said unto them, when I sent you without purse and script and shoes, lacked ye anything? And they said nothing. They said, we didn't lack anything. But he says, but now. Things are about to change. You had it quite peaceful then when you went with the message of the kingdom, but now things are about to change.

He says, sorry, but now he that has a purse, let him take it. likewise a bag he that has no sword let him sell his garment and buy one for I say unto you that is written you must be must be accomplished in me that he was reckoned amongst the transgressors for the things concerning me have an end and so things were about to change for the apostles their life was going to become more difficult that as we see in the book of acts that Paul was raised up and much persecution took place in the early church. We notice with the persecution, although the sufferings of the Lord Jesus Christ has ended, but his people's suffering continues, yet the Lord Jesus Christ is affected by the sufferings of his saints. He says, Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? So though the Lord Jesus Christ has passed through his suffering, though he has resurrected and is the first fruits of the resurrection and is in a glorified body, and as we see that he ascends up into glory and is at the right hand of the Father, yet he still understands and feels the pains of his people. He says, why are you persecuting me? Why are you troubled? He says to them. Why are you troubled? And why do thoughts arise in your heart?

Remember, as I said at the beginning, he didn't appear to them far away. He appeared to them very closely to them. He understood that they were terrified and they were affrighted because they believed that they saw a spirit. Naturally, if somebody had died and you had seen them buried in the grave and then suddenly they appeared in your room, you would be extremely frightened because you had seen them laid in the grave.

And so Jesus comforts them with these words. Why are you troubled? There is no need for doubt. Remember what I said to you, he says, or what he says to the others, what the angel says. The son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and rise again the third day. Why are you troubled? Why are you surprised to see me here? Why do doubtful thoughts arise in your mind?

I told you, This was going to happen. I told you that I was going to rise again from the dead. And this resurrection, it was a physical resurrection, not a spiritual resurrection. Jesus says, handle me. See, for the spirit has not flesh and bones. He shows them the wounds in his hand, in his hands and in his feet to demonstrate to them that it's not another person. People say that Jesus was switched.

People come up with all manner of excuses as to why Jesus Christ did not rise from the dead. Yet the apostles saw him. this same Jesus with the wounds in his hands that demonstrated it was the same one who was crucified upon the cross, the wound in his side, the same one that was pierced, the same one that was laid in the grave. this same Jesus.

And this resurrection is the foundation, as it were, the whole of Christianity hinges upon the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. And the Apostle Paul covers this in the book of Corinthians. He says, if Christ is not risen, then our faith is in vain. This is the sum of the preaching of the gospel. It is essential to the preaching of the gospel.

It's essential for believers to believe that Christ truly rose again from the grave. For if he never rose again from the grave, then you and I are still in our sin. In 1 Corinthians chapter 15 he says, For I delivered unto you first of all that which I received, how Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures. According to the Scriptures, Old and New Testament, the apostle affirms the written word, that it testifies that Christ rose again from the grave, that he was buried.

And he rose again the third day, according to the Scriptures, and was seen of Cephas, or Peter, and the 12. Again, he covers Peter. After that, he was seen above 500 brethren at once, of whom a greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. And after that, he was seen of James and of all the apostles. And last of all, he was seen of me, also born out of due time.

And so part of the preaching of the gospel and part of believing and trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ is to preach that he rose again from the grave. that he did not lay in the tomb, that he's a risen saviour, he's a risen prophet, he's a risen king. And part of the belief of those who trust Jesus Christ must believe that he rose again from the dead, for if he did not rise from the dead, then everything that we are doing today is sinful.

Worshipping on the first day of the week. We worship on the first day of the week because Jesus Christ rose again upon the first day of the week. If we didn't rise again on the first day of the week, then we're committing sin. We should still be under the law of God. We should be worshipping on a Saturday. We should be going to the Jerusalem. We should be going to the temple. We should be offering sacrifices for our sin, waiting for the coming of the Messiah.

Because Jesus Christ rose again from the grave. That means that he was and is the true Messiah, that he did not experience corruption, his body did not experience decay, as David tells us. And if Jesus Christ did not rise again from the dead, we're also committing idol worship. because we have worshipped God through the Lord Jesus Christ, who we say is the Son of God, who we say rose again upon the third day and is now interceding for us. And if we say that Jesus Christ never rose again from the dead, that means God never accepted the sacrifice of his Son and Christ was defeated by death and is still in the grave. And if Christ is defeated by death and is still in the grave, that means you and I also will succumb to death and remain in the grave. We are yet in our sin. But if Christ is risen from the dead and become the first fruits of them that slept, for since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam will die, even so in Christ that is, in Christ all shall be made alive.

You see the importance of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, the death and the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. That's why the institution of baptism, that dying and rising again, the institution of the Lord's Supper, this is my body which is given for you, which is broken for you. This is my blood which is shed for you, this dew in remembrance of me. Our minds are continually to be focused upon this pinnacle point in Christianity that Jesus Christ died and rose again from the dead. It was a physical death and it was a literal physical resurrection and that he is the first fruits of that resurrection.

And he says, don't be afraid. Why is your heart troubled? And why do thoughts arise in your heart? Behold my hands and my feet. It is I myself. Handle me and see. For the spirit has not flesh and bones as you see me have. The children, as I mentioned this morning, they looked at Thomas and Thomas said, Thomas said, after the others had seen him, except I see the hands, the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe. That's what Thomas said. Jesus says to Thomas, reach here thy finger and behold my hands and reach hither my hand and thrust it into my thy hand thrust it into my side and be not faithless but believing and thomas said unto him my lord and my god oh listen this is where we come They saw Jesus Christ.

They handled Jesus Christ. This is my resurrected, glorified body. Handle me and see. What does Jesus now say? Thomas, because you have seen me, thou hast believed. Blessed are they that have not seen and yet believe. Is that where you come tonight? Yes, you have not seen the resurrected Lord Jesus Christ. You have not handled him, but you believe in him. You trust in him. Your salvation is hung upon his finished work. You completely believe that Jesus Christ died and rose again on the third day for you and for your sin.

Blessed are they which see not, and yet belief. And so the same Jesus that they saw and touched is the same Jesus that you and I believe by faith. It is seated at the right hand of the Father as we saw right at the end of of the chapter 24 and he led them out as far as Bethany and he lifted up his hands and blessed them and it came to pass while he he blessed them he was parted from them and carried up into heaven and they worshipped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy and were continually in the temple praising God in acts chapter one it tells us, and while he had spoken these things they beheld he was taken up in and a cloud received him out of their sight and while they looked steadfastly towards heaven as he went up behold two men stood by them in white apparel which also said Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall come in like manner as you have seen him go into heaven.

This same Jesus, not a different one. Although he has a glorified body, that body is now at the right hand of the Father, interceding for his people as their mediator and high priest. And he says to the father, behold, my hands and my feet. A great high priest with scars in his hands and scars on his feet and scars in his side and a scar on his side stands at the right hand of the throne of high interceding for his beloved people. tried and tempted in all points as we are, yet without sin, a great high priest.

He remembers our frame, remembers that we are dust, bearing the scars of his sufferings before his people. Here in his love, not that we love God, but that he loved us and gave his Son for us. Our love for this man, our love for the Lord Jesus Christ is evidence of his love for us. We cannot love him unless he first loves us. If you have any love to the Lord Jesus Christ and desire to follow him and desire to live your life structured by his teachings and you desire never to displease him, And that is evidence of his love towards you. And tonight he says to you, why are you so troubled? Why do you doubt? Why do thoughts, doubtful thoughts arise in your heart?

Behold my hand and my feet. Handle me and see. You see, Christianity is a religion that can also be experienced. There's the hymn that says, Real religion is more than notion, more than feeling. Something can be known and felt. And Christ is often known in our trial. We experience him, his blessing, his help, his encouragement in our trials and difficulties. Why? Because he is our high priest seated at the right hand of the Father with the wounds, the scars of the wounds in his hands. In Revelation it tells us there of the Lord Jesus Christ. Revelation chapter five.

As John sees up into heaven, He says, and I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts saying, sorry, wrong, five, chapter five. And one of the elders which stood, which And one of the elders said unto me, weep not. The lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, hath prevailed to open the book and to loose the seven seals thereof. And I beheld, and lo, in the midst of the throne of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders stood a lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits sent forth into all the world, all the earth. and he came and he took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne and when he had taken the book the four beasts and the four and twenty elders fell down before the lamb every one of them harps and gold rituals full of odors which are the prayers of his saints and they said worthy is the lamb a lamb that had been slain the lord jesus christ the lamb of god who takes away the sin of the world is there represented in heaven or in the vision of revelation as a lamb that had been slain.

And so Christ Jesus at the right hand of the father, it bears the marks of his crucifixion and his love towards his dear people and he intercedes for them every single day. And he says, behold, my hands and my feet. What an encouragement this is for every single one of the saints, that Jesus Christ rose again from the grave. If you were to read 1 Corinthians 15, all of that, you will see there that he is the first fruit of the resurrection, that Christ rose again in a glorified body, which as the first fruit of the resurrection, gives us the hope or that faith that you and I will also rise again. Maybe that's troubling you tonight. And so Jesus says to you, why are you troubled? Why do thoughts arise in your heart? Behold, handle me and see.

I've risen again from the grave. The grave is empty. The grave has lost its sting, lost its victory. And so you and I will also go to the grave with that hope. that firm hope of that resurrection. Philippians 3 tells us, For if our conversation is in heaven, from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall change our vile body, that it might be fashioned into his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able to subdue all things unto himself.

It will change our vile body. You may not like that word, you may love your body, and you may think you have an amazing body, but God says that you have a vile body. Why? Because it's corrupted by sin. this corrupted body cannot enter into the presence of the holy holy holy god and therefore the only way that this body can enter into the presence of a holy holy holy god is by either dying and being laid in the grave and being risen again and glorified or as the apostle tells us, changed in the twinking of an eye, the trump when the Lord Jesus Christ will come again. This body cannot enter into heaven.

It must be changed. A body like unto his body, a body where he says, handle me and see. It is I myself. A spirit has not flesh and bones. How it will be we don't know, but that is how it will be. A body like unto his body, glorified, physical. Yet it will be you and it will be me. with the Lord Jesus Christ forever and ever.

Even he eats with them to add emphasis that it is him and that he has risen again from the grave. May the Lord comfort your troubled hearts Take away your doubts and your fears. Look to the empty grave. Know that Christ is seated at the right hand of the Father, interceding for you. He has given you His Holy Spirit, the Comforter, to help you in your trials, help you in your temptations. He's given you His Holy Word, filled with all the promises that are yay and amen in Christ Jesus, and He's given you at the throne of grace where you can commune with your creator 24 hours a day to the true and living God. Amen.

Let's sing our final hymn today, number 160. 160. There is a fountain filled with blood, drawn from Emmanuel's veins, and sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains. Hymn 160, tune 101. There is a fountain filled with blood ♪ Joined to home in the hallowed place ♪ ♪ That saviour's pledge beneath the flood ♪ ♪ Is o'er the hilltops now rising ♪ Him with joys to sing at the mountain in his name.

O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming? Thy precious blood shall never lose its power. Till all the handsome judges of the world ♪ Except to sin alone ♪ ♪ And since I've learned my father's dream, my father's love ♪ ♪ E'er deep in love has been my theme and shall be true. ♪ O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

Oh Loving Heavenly Father, we thank Thee again for the gift of Thy beloved Son. The fountain was opened for sin and for uncleanness, and we pray that we each may be granted that faith to come and wash, to handle Christ by faith and see Him as a risen Saviour, our own Saviour. Do then, Lord, bless us, we pray, and dismiss us with thy blessing, as we ask it in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. And now may the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God the Father, the fellowship and communion of the Holy Spirit, to be with you each now and forevermore. Amen.
