What Happened When Jesus Died? What about the dead saints that arose from the graves?

Pastor talks about Russia taking control of Syria. But that was what he said during the pregame show. We tell you these things to entice our local people to actually come to the service. You ask, "How's that workin' for ya?" Well...

We have a huge pile of stuff that pastor says he's going to eventually get to. But today we have something special for you.

Matthew 27:51-55. In here you'll find things other churches are scared to death to admit or even mention. Did the Saints really rise from the dead? Most scholars want to say it shouldn't be in Scripture. The author of this book of the Bible just happens to be a Jew, and he's writing to Jews. So here's our list we have to deal with:

A. Behold
B. Veil / In Two
C. Top to Bottom
D. Earthquake
E. Rocks Split
F. Graves Are Opened
G. Many Bodies
H. Saints
I. Fallen Asleep
J. Were Raised
K. After His (Christ's) Resurrection
L. They Went Into Jerusalem
M. Appeared to Many
N. Centurion
O. Many Women
P. Mary M.
Q. Mary
R. Sons Of Thunder

Why is this account found only in the book of Matthew?

The Graves poured out the saints into the city – Hundreds or thousands of them. Why didn't Paul mention these people? What about the other New Testament writers? Why didn't Matthew name any of these people? And the questions abound. And many who hold the Bible in contempt will ask these questions. The churches tell their people, don't worry about it. They say, Let's just focus on things we know about.

So now we start finding out. Let’s settle in and listen to this pastor tell us about this profound miracle.

Got questions? Ask our pastor. He would be encouraged to hear from you.
