Summary Of Lesson 12 Death And Resurrection Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils. (Mark 16:9) He’s Alive - https://youtube/watch?v=0gGa1w_bnvM He is alive. Our Saviour is not in the grave. He is in Heaven preparing a place for those who surrender themselves to the total control of the Holy Spirit. When Satan thought that He could keep our Saviour in the grave, early on the first day of the week, our Saviour was resurrection from the death. He paid the ultimate price to rescue us from the clutches of Satan. He secured eternal life for us on that resurrection morning. The resurrection of Jesus is proof that He can raise us from the death. The morning the Lord is using this following passage from Ellen White to remind us that we have a Saviour who the power to give us eternal life. The sleep of death cannot have any power over those who surrender themselves totally to the control of the Holy Spirit. It is not by our strength that we will gain the victory. It is only through the power of the Holy Spirit that we will gain the victory. Ellen White said, The night of the first day of the week had worn slowly away. The darkest hour, just before daybreak, had come. Christ was still a prisoner in His narrow tomb. The great stone was in its place; the Roman seal was unbroken; the Roman guards were keeping their watch. And there were unseen watchers. Hosts of evil angels were gathered about the place. Had it been possible, the prince of darkness with his apostate army would have kept forever sealed the tomb that held the Son of God. But a heavenly host surrounded the sepulcher. Angels that excel in strength were guarding the tomb, and waiting to welcome the Prince of life. “And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven. Clothed with the panoply of God, this angel left the heavenly courts. The bright beams of Gods glory went before him, and illuminated his pathway. His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: and for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. Now, priests and rulers, where is the power of your guard? Brave soldiers that have never been afraid of human power are now as captives taken without sword or spear. The face they look upon is not the face of mortal warrior; it is the face of the mightiest of the Lords host. This messenger is he who fills the position from which Satan fell. It is he who on the hills of Bethlehem proclaimed Christs birth. The earth trembles at his approach, the hosts of darkness flee, and as he rolls away the stone, heaven seems to come down to the earth. The soldiers see him removing the stone as he would a pebble, and hear him cry, Son of God, come forth; Thy Father calls Thee. They see Jesus come forth from the grave, and hear Him proclaim over the rent sepulcher, I am the resurrection, and the life. As He comes forth in majesty and glory, the angel host bow low in adoration before the Redeemer, and welcome Him with songs of praise. An earthquake marked the hour when Christ laid down His life, and another earthquake witnessed the moment when He took it up in triumph. He who had vanquished death and the grave came forth from the tomb with the tread of a conqueror, amid the reeling of the earth, the flashing of lightning, and the roaring of thunder. When He shall come to the earth again, He will shake not the earth only, but also heaven. The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage. The heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll; the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. But the Lord will be the hope of His people, and the strength of the children of Israel.
