TOPIC: DEATH AND RESURRECTION OF JESUS FORETOLD
TEXT: Mark 9:30-32
30 And they departed thence, and passed through Galilee; and he would not that any man should know it. 31 For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day. 32 But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask him.

INTRODUCTION TEXT
Jesus Christ Himself made it clear to His disciples that; "The son of man will be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill Him; and when fie is killed, after three days, He will rise " (Mark 9:31). However, not only did they not understand what He told them, the disciples were afraid to ask Him for explanation. The death and resurrection of Jesus is a strong; bedrock of our faith. Going to church without this knowledge and its appropriation, destroys the soul. Jesus was despised, rejected by men, afflicted, wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities and... made an offering for sins.
He was crucified on the cross of Calvary; died' and was buried and on the third day, He resurrected. Anyone who refuses this great sacrifice will suffer the horrors of the second death. Through death, Jesus destroyed the devil who has the power of death, thereby delivering those who through the fear of death, were subject to lifelong bondage. He is the life and resurrection; make Him your Lord and Saviour now for everlasting peace and total freedom. Because He resurrected, all who died in Christ will also resurrect.
Prayer: Lord, please help me to die to sins and be established in your righteousness in Jesus' name. Amen.
