Jesus is the Way to LifeJohn 14:6
When Jesus died on the cross, His disciples found themselves shocked and unsure about the future. They had hoped that Jesus would establish His Kingdom and redeem
Israel from the heavy boot of Roman rule, but their hopes were shattered with His crucifixion. However, everything changed the day of Christ’s resurrection. This morning, we’ll consider why Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation
and what that can mean for you.

2. You have the _______________________________________. “… it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.” Hebrews 9:27
II. Why is Christ’s resurrection so important to salvation?
1. It gives ___________________________________________. “... Anyone who has seen Me has seen the Father…” John 14:9
2. It gives ___________________________________________. “The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men. They will kill Him, and after three days He will rise.” Mark 9:31
a. You can live your ____________________________________. “… I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly.” John 10:10
b. You can face your ___________________________________. “Do not let your hearts be troubled… if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with Me…” John 14:1-4
III. How does it start?
1. You _____________________________________________. “… your iniquities have separated you from your God…” Isaiah 59:2
2. You _____________________________________________. “Yet to all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God.” John 1:12 & Ephesians 2:8-9
