LD17E Q45 The Benefits of Christ's Resurrection
In this podcast, we want to complete out studies on the Resurrection of Christ, in LD17, Q45. Lord's Day 17 How does Christ's resurrection benefit us? A. First, by his resurrection he has overcome death, so that he could make us share in the righteousness which he had obtained for us by his death. Second, by his power we too are raised up to a new life. Third, Christ's resurrection is to us a sure pledge of our glorious resurrection.
We have been very careful to stress the historicity of the resurrection event. It happened, on a particular day in a certain place, and was witnessed by many many people. It was an event that changed lives. Those early disciples who witnessed the empty tomb, and who met the risen Saviour, and who touched his hands and his side, were transformed into apostles, ambassadors for Christ who spread the good news that He is Risen, and changed the world. That generation of first believers has long gone, but the message of the gospel is still being preached, and the resurrection of Jesus still matters, for it is still having an effect on our lives today. It is an objective HISTORICAL EVENT, that has subjective, PERSONAL EFFECTS in the lives of believers today.
