Sermon Outline:
God the Father
Acts 2:23–24 (NKJV)
23Him, being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death;
24whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it.
Acts 2:32 (NKJV)
32This Jesus God has raised up, of which we are all witnesses.
Acts 4:10 (NKJV)
10let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole.
Galatians 1:1 (NKJV)
1Paul, an apostle (not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised Him from the dead),
Acts 13:33–35 (NKJV)
33God has fulfilled this for us their children, in that He has raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second Psalm: ‘You are My Son, Today I have begotten You.’
34And that He raised Him from the dead, no more to return to corruption, He has spoken thus: ‘I will give you the sure mercies of David.’
35Therefore He also says in another Psalm: ‘You will not allow Your Holy One to see corruption.’
The Holy Spirit
Romans 1:4 (NKJV)
4and declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead.
Romans 8:11 (NKJV)
11But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.
Jesus Himself
John 2:19–22 (NKJV)
19Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
20Then the Jews said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?”
21But He was speaking of the temple of His body.
22Therefore, when He had risen from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this to them; and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had said.
John 10:17–18 (NKJV)
17“Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again.
18No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father.”
Romans 4:24–25 (NKJV)
24but also for us. It shall be imputed to us who believe in Him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead,
25who was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification.
