Resurrection Proof
Contributed by Joel Pankow on Mar 29, 2024 (message contributor)
Why is His resurrection so important? Think about what they call cold cases. Sometimes a man is accused of a crime he didn’t commit and put in jail. They found blood at the scene, but they didn’t have the DNA technology that they do today. But now, years later, they can use that same blood and do better testing on it to determine who actually did it. It has happened in multiple cases where the man accused of the crime has been set free from the blood sample that was taken years ago. The proof was always there, but it wasn’t proven until better technology.
In our case, the one who died on the cross and shed His blood is able to point back to His own death as proof to God Himself that payment has been made! It has the DNA of God Himself with God Himself as the victim and the witness! The best Defense Attorney provided the best defense for us, in His own death, with His own body and blood. The nail marks still exist. The hole is still in His side! The evidence is alive and the witness is alive! The devil will be unable to make any accusations or drudge up any evidence against those who believe in Jesus and are baptized. 1 John 2:1 says, “if anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defense—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One.” His LIFE is all important for us, because He continues to defend us until the Final Judgment. (And our Defense Attorney happens to be our Judge too!”)
