Life of Christ Lesson 184b: Christ’s Proclaimation to Imprisoned Spirits! {What Christ Did While His Body Laid in the Grave}

Life of Christ Lesson 187c Resurrection Lies Exposed (Jesus DID Rise from the dead!)

Matthew 28:11-15 Mark Twain once stated that a lie can go around the whole world while truth is still lacing up her boots!  Sinful human nature somehow causes men to prefer to believe lies than truth.  While the women were going about bringing the truth of Christ's resurrection to the disciples (who did not believe them), the soldiers assigned to guard the tomb were bringing their remarkable, eye-witness report to the chief priests.  However, because the priests DID believe what they heard, they paid the soldiers a large amount of money to spread the LIE that Jesus' disciples had stolen His body! Since that original lie, many others have been concocted over the passing centuries regarding Christ's resurrection.  In this interesting lesson, we discuss many logical reasons why the chief priests' lie is false, before then showing why many other "theories" (lies) invented by unbelievers wanting to explain away the resurrection are likewise false.  Examples we consider are: "the swoon theory," "the no-burial theory," "the telepathy theory," "the séance theory," "the mistaken identity theory," and "the theft theory".  IT IS IMPORTANT FOR CHRISTIANS TO KNOW HOW TO REFUTE THESE LIES!!

Life of Christ Lesson 187b: Resurrecion Morning Conversations

The resurrected Lord Jesus' first two recorded conversations, which were with Mary Magdalene and the Galilean women, who (like Mary) had an encounter with the living Christ on Resurrection Sunday morning!

Life of Christ Lesson 187a: Firstfruits of the Resurrection!

Matthew 28:9, 10; Mark 16:10, 11; John 20:17, 18 The resurrection of the Lord Jesus is foundational to the Christian faith, for it undergirds the significance of other Biblical truths.  We discuss 8 of these foundational truths that are verified by His resurrection in this lesson. In this lesson, we learn of the first two recorded conversations Christ had following His resurrection.  One was with Mary Magdalene (who had just come to recognize Him at the end of Lesson #186), and the other was with a group of women who, like Mary, had an encounter with the living Lord on Resurrection Sunday morning.

Life of Christ Lesson 186b: Joy Comes in the Morning!

Mary Magdalene's blinding despair and confusion are turned to blessed joy unspeakable!   Think of this:  Mary wept for the wrong reason; she wept because she found the tomb empty.  The fact is, because the tomb WAS empty, she had every reason to be rejoicing!  THE SAME IS TRUE FOR YOU AND ME!   THIS will be one of your favorite lessons! It will fill your cup to over-flowing with joy, love, hope, and true comfort!

Life of Christ Lesson 186a: The Empty Grave Clothes! {How they PROVED the Resurrection}

You will want to hear this study to find out how the grave clothes appeared (and the folded head napkin) to give the women invited into the tomb by the angel and the Apostle John instant proof that Jesus had, indeed, RISEN FROM THE DEAD!   The grave clothes of the Lord Jesus are a very exciting subject.
