that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me.

The resurrection proved that Jesus was who he said He was.
A Psalm of David.
O Lord, who shall sojourn in your tent?
Who shall dwell on your holy hill?
He who walks blamelessly and does what is right
and speaks truth in his heart;
who does not slander with his tongue
and does no evil to his neighbor,
nor takes up a reproach against his friend;
in whose eyes a vile person is despised,
but who honors those who fear the Lord;
who swears to his own hurt and does not change;
who does not put out his money at interest
and does not take a bribe against the innocent.
He who does these things shall never be moved.
He was truly the son of God. As Mary Magdalene proclaimed, ‘I have seen the Lord.’

Jesus’ serving ministry
The Lord’s supper - He served the disciples and washed their feet.
He has no deficiencies that we can meet. He lacks nothing and He is complete. The resurrection proves that He is alive to serve His people.
From of old no one has heard
or perceived by the ear,
no eye has seen a God besides you,
who acts for those who wait for him.
Jesus died and rose again to confirm His readiness to meet our needs.
‘My peace, joy and myself I give to you’ says Jesus.
Are we humble enough to be served by Him?
Are we needy enough to seek Him?
Are we needy enough to seek Him?
Do we feel the need of Him?

“Come, everyone who thirsts,
come to the waters;
and he who has no money,
come, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk
without money and without price.
Isaiah
Seek the Lord while He may be found, call upon Him and let the wicked forsake His ways.
Faith is not a leap in the dark but a faith that is well grounded on facts and history. Jesus rose from the dead.
He is risen. He is risen indeed.
