INTRODUCTION
{{{"
!!!! A. One of the most fundamental doctrines of Christianity centers upon the resurrection of Jesus as the Christ.

!!!! B. This morning we look at the importance of the resurrection of our Savior Jesus Christ.
#.
To see how Christ’s resurrection makes our faith a practically valid and vital.
#.
And to let the emotional conviction of this truth shine forth as we sing a song of exhortation (Resurrection) to one another.

EXHORTING ONE ANOTHER THROUGH SONG
{{{"

We cheat ourselves (and others) if our faith is limited to simply acknowledging the belief of Christ’s resurrection.

This knowledge/belief should spring hope with every endeavor you do while living here.

It should relieve you of all fear when people conspire against you.
#.
It should bring about joy the world could never fully understand.
!!!! B. The song: Resurrection (Richard L. Morrison)

Stanza 1 – When Jesus stood at Lazarus’ tomb and none believed He had the pow’r…Despite their grief and their disbelief, He commanded, “Take away the stone.”
#.
Stanza 2 – When Jesus lay in Joseph’s tomb and none believed He had the pow’r… True love spoke forth in a Father’s voice, And the angel took away the stone.

Stanza 3 – When I shall lie with in my tomb and none believe He has the pow’r, The Lord Himself will descend from heav’n with a shout to take away the stone.
