In this Easter service, Pastor Daniel Batarseh explores how the resurrection of Jesus Christ is rooted in the Old Testament. By examining the Law, the Prophets, and the Writings, he proves that the hope of rising from the dead was a consistent message from God long before the New Testament.

• 1The resurrection is a consistent, golden thread running through the Law, the Prophets, and the Writings.
• 2Jesus validated the resurrection by pointing to the present-tense nature of God’s covenant with the patriarchs.
• 3Abraham’s faith was specifically characterized by his belief that God had the power to raise the dead.
• 4Isaiah 53 provides chronological proof of the resurrection by stating the Messiah would 'prolong his days' after being a guilt offering.
• 5Every human being is an immortal soul who will face a literal resurrection to either eternal life or eternal contempt.
