Preaching the Resurrection: Why and What?

Pete Woodcock

Last week I was at the Evangelists Conference and we were looking at preaching the resurrection. Guest speaker David Short was unable to make it, so Pete Woodcock and Simon Manchester filled in.

Here’s 7 points from Pete Woodcock on the “Why and What?” of preaching the resurrection:

1. The Resurrection of Jesus transformed the body of Jesus
2. The Resurrection of Jesus confirms, underlines and highlights all the claims of Jesus in the Gospel
3. The Resurrection of Jesus signified Jesus’ complete success in his work
4. The Resurrection of Jesus holds the power for our own resurrection
5. The Resurrection of Jesus is proof that God will judge the earth
6. The Resurrection of Jesus says that he is the “first fruits”
7. The Resurrection of Jesus means that Jesus is the Spirit King who sends the Spirit to create the church
