What does this mean for me? (Read Hebrews 10:19-22)_____________________________________

• The Jewish commentaries state that this curtain was one hand breath in thickness- about 8 to 9 cm thick.

• The total weight of the curtain was about 4 to 6 tons. One Jewish commentary said it would take about 2 yoke of oxen pulling in opposite directions to tear this curtain in two!

​

Jesus’ resurrection means that death and decay have been overcome, both for Him and for us!

 

III.What happened in John 20:22_____________________________________________________

​

Read Ephesians 1:19-20.Note that the power that is towards us is the same power that worked in Christ’s resurrection.

​

• The word “towards” Vs 19 NKJV is eis in the Greek meaning the power coming towards us and also in us. It describes a stream of God’s power from heaven to earth through each of us.

• The intensity of this power is no less than the power working in Jesus’ resurrection!

• But it takes a revelation of the heart to fully understand this. Pray for it!

• Read also Romans 8:11. What does His Spirt impart to our bodies?____________________

​

Jesus’ resurrection means we are empowered with the resurrection power of Jesus Christ!

​

IV. Read Matthew 28:18-19.Note that this is the first of 4 commissions in the 4 Gospels

​

• What is the key concept in Matthews commission?_________________________________

• What is the key concept in Marks commission Mark 16:17-18_________________________

• What is the key concept in Luke’s commission Luke 24:46-49, Acts 1:8__________________

• What is the key concept in John’s commission John 20:21, 23_________________________

​

Jesus’ resurrection means we are partners with God to communicate to the world His great triumph over death and decay, sin and separation with God and  others, and victory over the devil and demons. Will you and I partner with Him?

God bless as we walk in victory this week!!
