Read the Introduction to “After These Things”
The Resurrection of Jesus Christ is the seminal event in all of human history. It is the one great anomaly in the records of those who have lived and died since the beginning of time. Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, came to this earth, lived, died, was buried, and then rose from the dead. Nothing like it had happened before or has happened since.
Nearly everyone would agree that a man being raised from the dead after three days in a cold grave deserves our attention. It deserves all of the books that have been written, all of the movies and television shows that have been made, and all of the songs written and sung about it. But how can we quantify the effects of the Resurrection on mankind and on history?
The title of this book, After These Things, actually comes from Holy Scripture. It comes from John 21:1 which reads, “After these things [the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ], Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias.”
Examining the aftermath of the Resurrection of Christ as recorded in Scripture, this book discusses eight specific ways the Resurrection impacted individuals, the Church, and the world. We will look at:
* The Power of the Resurrection and the Backslidden Believer
* The Power of the Resurrection and the Faithless Believer
* The Power of the Resurrection and the Depressed, Discouraged Believer
* The Power of the Resurrection and the Might Within Believers
* The Power of the Resurrection and the Work of the Church
* The Power of the Resurrection and the Breaking Down of Racial Barriers Among Believers
* The Power of the Resurrection and Those Who Rage Against Jesus and Believers
* The Power of the Resurrection Which Turns Sinners Into Believers
To paraphrase the popular Christmas hymn, “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing,” Jesus Christ was raised to “raise the sons of earth” and to “give us second birth.” The Resurrection matters. After reading this book, you will know how and why it matters to your life here on earth and to your eternal future.
