Resurrection Sunday is an incredible celebration day for believers. It's even more significant than the Incarnation...and that's a big deal.

In this podcast, we look at some of the things people might not consider with just a cursory glimpse at the Biblical account of our Savior's rising from teh dead.

- Were the soldiers at the tomb Roman or Jews?

- Why didn't Jesus die in the horrendous process of His beatings, trials, and crucifixion?

- How do we know Jesus didn't just "swoon" and walk out of the tomb? Did He really and truly die?

- Just how much evidence do we have of the resurrection?

It's a time of both celebration and humility that Jesus Christ would become sin for us so that we can be reconciled to the Father. This was God's plan all along and, when the time was exactly right, He sent His Son to fulfill everything that was prophesied about Him throughout the Old Testament.

Guard at a cemetery? No problem...right?

One of the best ways to help people catch your point is to use an illustration with which they can identify.

- Jesus used parables...often.

- Jan and Tom have used these stories to bring a truth to life throughout their ministries.

These are some of Jay and Tom's favorites. They share these to inspire as well as equip you with an illustration that just might help when you're sharing with someone a truth.

From canoe trips to tennis shoes, you'll see what they're saying. You might say "wow" or "Wow!" as they share stories, some illustrations and some true accounts, that just might make your day.

Legalism isn't a new thing. Jesus had to deal with it when confronting the Pharisees of His day. Unfortunately, we have some people who have learned well from them, sticking to the letter of the Law.

Instead of being present-day Pharisees, we can overcome that bad spirit with the Word, where we find the antidote.

People judge the outward appearance, both inside and outside the Body of Christ. Unfortunately, that's the nature of worldly people. Christ followers play by a different "rule book"

Instead of "excessive emphasizing of rules and regulations and strict literal adherence to them," we hold to two very vital Godly virtues:

Love and grace.
