This Wednesday in our adult Bible Study we will begin an in-depth study on the greatest miracle of Jesus, the resurrection. We will look at each gospel account to gain a deeper understanding of what the gospel writers recorded about this miraculous event. We will also look at other passages such as 1 Corinthian 15 to gain a deeper understanding of the power of the resurrection and what that means for Christians today. The goal of the study will be to develop a deeper understanding and a better ability to explain and defend the resurrection doctrine.
As with every miracle we have studied so far we will begin by looking at the event or events that immediately preceded the miracle being studied. In the case of Jesus’ resurrection the preceding event was his burial and the burial of Jesus is significant and an important, often overlooked part of the gospel.
