The Resurrection in Acts
Series Acts: The Kingdom on Mission
On this glorious Easter Sunday we are going to step back from our verse-by-verse march through the book of Acts, and we are going to look at some of the key points Luke makes about the resurrection in this book. The Christian faith has many unique teachings, and certainly the Incarnation and the Trinity are without parallel in other religions. But I would argue that another doctrine that really sets our faith apart from the rest is its teaching on the resurrection of the dead. We believe that Jesus was really killed and that He really rose from the dead. But the resurrection means more than that Jesus is alive, as important as that is. As we will see from various statements in Acts today, the resurrection is the ultimate sign of Christ's power. It means that we too will rise from the dead, that we too have hope that this world will be set right and death vanquished, that we can share God's Holy Spirit, and that the kingdom of darkness is losing as the light of Christ shines forth.
