SIGNS OF THE RESURRECTION
Biblical Signs:
• Psalm 16:10 – You will not allow Your Faithful One to see decay.
• Hosea 6:2 - on the third day He will raise us up so we can live in His presence.
• Matthew 12:39-40 - Jesus called His own resurrection the “Sign of Jonah”
KNOW AND SHARE EYEWITNESS SIGNS
Firsthand accounts from those who walked with Jesus, saw the miracles, witnessed the resurrection, and were changed forever.
4 Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke & John were unique eyewitness accounts of Jesus life, all written within 40-50 years after the resurrection.
Testimonies of Two Skeptics:
James, Jesus’ brother — thought Jesus was crazy (Mark 3:21, John 7:5), later becomes the leader of the church and is martyred.
Paul, the persecutor — has an encounter with the risen Jesus (1 Cor 15:8, Galatians 1:11–16) and becomes the greatest missionary the world has ever seen.
OUR MAIN PRIORITY MUST BE ON TELLING NOT-YETS ABOUT WHAT JESUS ALREADY DID.
FACTS MATTER WHEN FAITH IS MISSING.
KNOW AND SHARE PERSONAL SIGNS

THE GREATEST SIGN OF GOD AND SALVATION IN JESUS IS SEEN THROUGH THE WORK OF THE SPIRIT IN THE TRANSFORMATION OF LIVES.
