• Post-modern existentialism

2) The disciples’ unbelief
• The women had come to anoint his body – a sign of respect for a dead person
• They had seen him die• He was buried, guarded• Bodies that are dead remain
dead3

3) The angels’ message
• He is not here• He is risen• Jesus had told them
that this would happen
• Why seek the living among the dead?

3) The angels’ message
Notice here:• Christ rose bodily, not just spiritually• Like the body that died -
but not exactly• Notice the difference with Lazarus

4) The logical response
• Experience teaches that death wins
• When a new message conflicts with experience,
that generates unbelief

4) The logical response
• Peter explains this:“but God raised him on the third day and made him to appear, not to all the people but to us who had been chosen by God as witnesses, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.”

4) The logical response
• Notice the difficulty here• The women did not see Jesus
rise• They simply heard
witnesses• Instead of allowing us all to see
the risen Christ, God has provided us with witnesses 8

5) The response of faith
• The many witnessesand the historical evidences are convincing
• But finally, we have to open our heart by
faith to the Holy Spirit speaking to our heart.

himself• We need to follow in his
footsteps
