What Just Happened?

Recap: 2 things just happened that no one expected: 

• Jesus (the Messiah) was crucified
• Jesus (alone) was resurrected in the middle of the present age

Jesus is alive! But what does that even mean?

• The cross was always the plan (24.25)
• The cross was God’s victory, not defeat (24.26)

• God’s future has broken into our present (Acts 2)

Take Home Idea: In the cross and resurrection, God in Christ has done all that he had promised, and more than anyone expected

2 Conclusions: 

• Jesus is the first person to proclaim the gospel
• We believe and proclaim the same gospel first proclaimed by Jesus
