Study Notes
The Death, Resurrection, and Ascension of Christ
- The death, resurrection, and ascension of Christ are significant events in Christian theology, and they were foretold in the Old Testament (Isaiah 52 and 53, Psalm 22, Daniel 9).
The Resurrection of Christ
- Christ himself is the resurrection, as stated in various verses (not specified in the text).
- The resurrection of Christ is confirmed by specific testimony, including the angel in the tomb (Matthew 28, Luke 24) and the 500 eyewitnesses who saw Him after His resurrection (1 Corinthians 15).
- Christ's resurrection is essential in the preaching of the apostles, as seen in Acts 7 (Stephen's martyrdom) and Philippians (teaching on His glorification).
The Ascension of Christ
- The ascension of Christ is distinct from His resurrection, as seen in John 7, 8, 14, and 16.
- Christ's ascension shows His distinctiveness as fully man and fully God, as He went back to the Father (John 7, 8, 14, and 16).
- The ascension could not have taken place without the resurrection.
The Pre-Resurrection Ministry of Christ
- The Gospels spend more time on Christ's pre-resurrection ministry and teaching, as God intended to display Christ's life, teaching, identity as the Messiah, and sinlessness.
- The resurrection accounts are dramatic and impactful, and the Book of Acts provides a thorough record of the preaching of the apostles, emphasizing the resurrected and ascended Christ.
The Significance of Christ's Death and Resurrection
- Christ's death and resurrection are essential in the preaching of the apostles, as seen in 1 Corinthians 15:1-3, Acts 1:21-22, and Romans 10:9-10.
- Christ's death and resurrection are essential for salvation, as seen in Romans 10:9-10 and 1 Corinthians 1:23.
- Belief in the resurrection is necessary for salvation, as seen in Romans 10:9-10 and 1 Corinthians 15.
The Nature of Christ's Death
- The nature of Christ's death can be described using two words: separation and substitution.
- The cry of distress in Matthew 27:46, from Psalm 22:1, indicates a separation between the Father and the Son, which is a mystery that cannot be fully explained.
- This separation was not a metaphysical separation of two persons or a personal separation of the two natures of Christ, but rather a moral separation between the Father and the Son.
