An Extraordinary Resurrection #3 of 3
March 26, 2009
He came as a babe in poverty. He left earth in triumphant glory. And His departure foretells the power of His return. We who run the race of the Christian life know that Jesus is sitting even now at God's right hand. And His ascension into heaven opened its gates for us. Why is the ascension important? Surprisingly, it was the key to founding the church: the body of Christ.

Living With Your Passions
In a hyper-sexualized culture, sex is either reduced to pleasure-seeking or conflated with our identity. But God designed us as sexual beings for emotional and spiritual intimacy whose highest calling is to worship Him. In this revised edition, Pastor Erwin Lutzer draws on forty years of ministry experience to present a rationale for sexual purity. He gives an honest answer to the sexual pressures we face like extramarital relationships, self-gratification, same-sex attraction, and more. As desire-driven creatures, we don't have to pursue happiness at the expense of character. With our identity grounded in Christ, we can live victoriously with our passions.

Of all the religious founders who've ever lived, only one is still living. Only one has opened the door to heaven. We who run the race of the Christian life owe everything to a risen Christ. His tomb is empty. No other past guru or prophet can say that...their bones prove they're still dead. Jesus is alive and sitting at the right hand of God the Father, waiting to return in glory to this earth.

We all know the Olympic games began in ancient Greece. We know that they involved runners, and races. But how do we know that? Because historical writings tell us so. The same is true of Jesus and His resurrection...there is massive evidence that says He rose from the dead. Though naysayers may come and go, Christ's resurrection is as certain as any event in history.

If there's one thing ancient Rome was good at, it was executions. They had a perfect record: no one they killed ever lived again. That is, until Jesus made the comeback of all time. When God raised Him from the dead, Christ was triumphant over death itself. And His resurrection guarantees that those who believe in him will one day rise as well.

In The Passion of the Christ, millions worldwide saw the brutal price paid by an innocent man to purchase salvation. The film's critics focused on who got blamed for killing Jesus. But believers understand that it was their hands holding the nails that were pounded into the Savior. Today: why the cross is the defining moment, not just for Jesus, but for the entire human race.

For athletes, the greatest moments of life are defined by victories in the arena, at the playing field or on the racetrack. But Christ's defining moment was a cruel death on the cross. For those who believe, that death bought forgiveness of sins. And for that, we must be eternally grateful. Today: we'll begin to experience the horrific price paid for our salvation.

Some athletes loom larger than life. Their personas transcend their sports prowess, and make them cultural icons. Genuine authority flows from within, no matter who you are. Jesus Christ had a unique authority, an authority we feel even today, two thousand years down the road. How can He still command such devotion?

Some celebrity athletes talk big, but when their performance lags behind their egos, they're not taken seriously anymore. Real authority flows from who you are, not how loud you can talk. Jesus Christ had an authority unmatched by any man who has ever lived. Today: more evidence of an authority that demands our response.

When you size up any group of people, it's easy to tell who's in charge...there's something intangible about real leaders. In all of history, no one has ever projected the authority that Jesus had. People were either drawn to Him, or, they wanted to kill Him. For anyone confronting the real Jesus, there was, and still is, no middle ground, and today we'll see why.

In an Olympic race, you either win, or lose. Coming in fourth is like bringing up the rear. The same is true in the spiritual realm. All of us are either winning or losing eternally. And our relationships with Christ determine where those future ages will be spent. He made claims no other man has ever made, and backed them up with incontrovertible miracles. Stay with us.

People once thought that running a four-minute mile would take a miracle. Well, one day, someone did it, it's no longer a miracle. Real miracles include raising the dead, and feeding the five thousand...the kind of miracles Jesus did to prove He came from God. Today: more about the amazing life of Christ, a man whose claims were validated by His miracles.
