Hebrews 12:2

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and

perfecter

of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.Slide9

Colossians 1:15-22

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. 17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18 And he is the head of

body

, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. 19 For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross. 21 Once

youSlide11

Colossians 1:15-22

were

alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. 22 But now he has reconciled you by Christ's physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation.Slide12

(The Resurrection)Slide14

Acts 2:29-36

"Brothers, I can tell you confidently that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is here to this day.  30 But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that he would place one of his descendants on his throne.  31 Seeing what was ahead, he spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, that he was not

abandonedSlide15

Acts 2:29-36

to

the grave, nor did his body see decay.  32 God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of the fact.  33 Exalted to the right hand of God, he has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear.  34 For David did not ascend to heaven, and yet he said, " 'The

LordSlide16

Acts 2:29-36

said

to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand  35 until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet." '  36 "Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ."Slide17

The initial victory of the cross and the grave was whose victory?Slide21

Revelation 5:1-10

Then I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne a scroll with writing on both sides and sealed with seven seals.  2 And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, "Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?"  3 But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or even look inside it.  4 I

weptSlide22

Revelation 5:1-10

and

wept because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside.  5 Then one of the elders said to me, "Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals."  6 Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing in the

centerSlide23

Revelation 5:1-10

of

the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.  7 He came and took the scroll from the right hand of him who sat on the throne. 8 And when he had taken it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb.

had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.  9 And they sang a new song: "You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased men for God from every tribe and language and people and nation.  10 You have made them to be

aSlide25

kingdom

and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth."Slide26

C + R = V

Colossians 2:9-15

For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form,  10 and you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority.  11 In him you were also circumcised, in the putting off of the sinful nature, not with a circumcision done by the hands of men but with the circumcision done by Christ,  12 

havingSlide28

Colossians 2:9-15

been

buried with him in baptism and raised with him through your faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead.  13 When you were dead in your sins and in the

uncircumcision

of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins,  14 having canceled the written code, with its regulations, that was against us and

thatSlide29

Colossians 2:9-15

stood

opposed to us; he took it away, nailing it to the cross.  15 And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.Slide30

Christ’s victory on the cross made another equation possible

Victory = Grace

God’s victory = The opportunity of graceSlide31

John 3:16

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life

.”Slide32

If we accept His opportunity the equation changes once more

Grace = Victory

God’s grace for us = Our victorySlide33

1 John 5:4-5

for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.  5 Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.Slide34

1 Corinthians 15:55-57

Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?"  56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.  57 But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

 Slide35

Galatians 2:20

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Slide36

What are you doing with that gift of grace?Slide37

Have you ever accepted God’s grace?

A – Accept that Jesus God and died for us.

B – Believe that He loves us and will forgive us.

C – Confess

Confess that we need Him

Confess that we are sinners who need to be forgiven

Confess that Jesus is who we believe inSlide38

What are you doing with that gift of grace?

Are you squandering it?

Are we sharing it?

Are we allowing it to shape us?Slide39

Remember the equations of Easter

C + R = V

Victory = Grace

Grace = Victory
