Pastor Richard "Buddy" Wimberly "The Resurrection" Luke 24:4-45

• Jesus was the first fruit of the resurrection. 
• Resurrection: Transformation of the body.
• This is meant to be a temporary dwelling place.
• We have new life through Jesus' resurrection.
• Jesus showed himself alive through infallible proofs.
• The women doubted the prophecy.
• All of the things which were prophesied was coming to pass even after Christ had died. 
• The disciples were happy; however, they were cautiously optimistic. They had just seen Jesus brutalized and now He's alive. 
• Jesus knew what they were going through, which is why he asked if they have any meat.
• The book of Hebrews tell us that we cannot please God without faith. The righteous live my faith and not by sight. 
• You can't see your way to faith.
• There is plenty of evidence; however, you must come by faith not the evidence. The proof will not bring you to faith in Jesus Christ. You have to open your heart. 
• The evidence is not suppose to give credibility to the Bible in order for you to believe it.
• We don't need those proofs to know that Jesus is alive.
• We must believe based on faith.
• You can't come to faith by the evidence. 
• We can't rest on the evidence. We must place our trust and faith in God. 
• Everything in the Old Testament pointed to the Messiah, and everything the Old Testament said, he fulfilled it.
• You have to trust. You don't need to know anything about the evidence if you know Him.
• The only door that leads to Christ is faith; we can't not come to Christ by the evidence.
