Jesus Christ is Risen from the dead

[Apostolic Faith]

Dear Saints of the Most High God and Savior Jesus Christ,

My dear Brothers and Sisters here goes my Easter Sermon in outline form. I hope you will be able to understand core meaning of this Easter Sermon.

I was praying and asking God please give me some revelation on the Resurrection of Lord Jesus Christ. First He spoke:

John 20:19, "On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” (Now we find Jesus stood among them in John 20: 14, 19, 26 and John 21: 4 and Luke 24: 36 too).

Then the Spirit of God spoke with me: Genesis 2:9, "The LORD God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground—trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil."

Now just make a comparison that Resurrected Jesus stood among the disciples and the tree of life was standing in the middle of the garden. see how both go the same way:

1. The tree of life was standing and  Jesus was in a standing position on the Cross and Jesus is also standing after resurrection among the disciples (not sitting, laying etc.).

2. Tree of life is made of wood, Cross is also make of wood and in the old testament the word for Cross is tree, or wood.

3.Tree of life gives life. They hung Jesus on the Cross (tree) while He was alive, although it was a custom to hang the dead on the tree in the old testament because Jesus Christ is the tree of life that is why He was hung live not as a dead person.

4. When they ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, death came. But when we see towards empty cross we find life (His Cross is empty because He is not there and He has been risen John 2: 14-15).

5. If somebody eats from the tree of life he will have eternal life. Jesus whose Cross, Coffin and Grave are empty says: John 6:54, "Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day."

6. Fruit of the tree multiplies its breed. See Isaiah 53:10, "Yet it was the LORD’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer,
and though the LORD makes^[a] his life an offering for sin,
he will see his offspring and prolong his days,
and the will of the LORD will prosper in his hand."

Just imagine the fruit of Jesus life that there are billions of believers in the world.

7. The tree of life is eternal but Jesus Christi is the tree of eternal life Himself.

Now see with me Revelation 22:2-3

^"2 down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. ³ No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him."

 8. " On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month." Jesus says: John 7:38, "Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.” Every day every believer can produce the fruit of life.

9. " And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations." Jesus said, John 15: ⁵ “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing." He gave us authority to heal the nations just see this reference: Mark 16: ¹⁷ And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; ¹⁸ they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.”

10. "³ No longer will there be any curse." Hebrews 10: ¹⁷ Then he adds: “Their sins and lawless acts. I will remember no more. ¹⁸ And where these have been forgiven, sacrifice for sin is no longer necessary."

11. " The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him." Matthew 28: 20"..... And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

The Resurrected Jesus Christ, The Tree of Eternal life is standing among us and wants from us to bear fruit. Are we ready to receive Him and show others that Resurrected Christ lives in us? When I was preaching in the Church, I got testimonies that they were stirring inside to out now what God is going to tell them next. Many people renewed their Covenant of life with Him to tell others about it and a lot of people accepted the Tree of life, Jesus Christ as their personal savior. More than 500 people listened the Word of God. If you have any question, suggestion please feel free to write me back.

Have happy resurrected life of Jesus Christ in you forever and ever!

Yours Brother in Christ,A
