Isaiah 53:10-11 (NASB)10 But the
Lord
was pleased
To crush Him, putting Him to grief;If He would render Himself as a guilt offering,He will see
His
offspring,
He will prolong
His
days,
And the good pleasure of the
Lord
will prosper in His hand.

As a result of the anguish of His soul,
He will see it and be satisfied;
By His knowledge the Righteous One,
My Servant, will justify the many,
As He will bear their iniquities.Slide6

fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.Slide8

1 Corinthians 15:1-6 (NASB)
1
Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand,
2 by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain.
3
For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, Slide28
4 and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
5
and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 6 After that He appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep; Slide29
BuriedThe proof of the crucifixion – His burial
The proof of the resurrection - He appeared
What Does the Creed Say? Part

BuriedWhy so much detail about the burial?
Proof that Jesus really died – problem in the early church (So, what’s new?)
It shows the true cost of our salvation.
To teach that God does not forsake us when we dieTo sanctify death so we will not be afraidIt is a picture of the complete removal of our sin.

BuriedJesus’ burial illustrates Leviticus 16
One man – High Priest
One place – most holy place
One day – day of atonementScapegoat – all of people’s sins were read aloud on that day with the Priest placing his hand on the goat as a transference of their sinsWhat Does the Creed Say? Part

BuriedThe burial applied.
Jesus carried our sins, borne on the cross, into the tomb with Him.
When Jesus came out of the tomb, our sins were gone forever.

Psalm 139:7-8 (NASB)

19
in which also He went and made proclamation to the spirits
