Easter 2007 - 'I Have Seen the Lord'

Pastor Joe
April 8, 2007

Mary Magdalene was the first person to see the resurrected Lord. This message will explore her faith and devotion to the Lord, and the fact that the Lord chose to reveal himself to her before any of the other disciples.

Message Notes

John 20:1-18

“Why Jesus and not some other religious leader? The truth turns on the fact of Jesus Christ’s bodily resurrection from the dead. I know the resurrection is a fact, and Watergate proved it to me. How? Because 12 men testified they had seen Jesus raised from the dead, then they proclaimed that truth for 40 years, never once denying it. Every one was beaten, tortured, stoned and put in prison. They would not have endured that if it weren’t true.

Watergate embroiled 12 of the most powerful men in the world—and they couldn’t keep a lie for three weeks. You’re telling me 12 apostles could keep a lie for 40 years? Absolutely impossible.”  Charles Colson
