This lesson was power point presentation and has no text hand out, sorry
 
the fast run down is -
God made promises, Jesus trusted God enough to die on the cross believing that "he would not see decay" Jesus was raised from the dead butwas the 1st of his kind, the new Adam. every other instance previously was not the same, they all, as far as we know, saw death again. How do we know this is true? because non of them were a new thing. only Jesus is given that distinction.
 
those other raisings - 1Kg.17:22-23; 2Kg.4:32-35; 2Kg.13:21; John 11:21; Acts 9:40
 
Jesus called the new thing (ok uses different names) Rom.8:26; Col.1:15-18; Heb.1:6; Rev.1:5
 
so to what have we come? Heb.12:22-24
 
God's promise to you - Phil.3:20-21; 1Cor.15:42-44; 1Jn.3:2
 
God is faithful, even when we fail to be - don't give up, don't give in, don't dispare! 2Tim.2:13
in clossing - God is able to do and has done what he says he has done - believe and so "walk the talk" you have been called to.,
2Cor.6:14-7:1 and 2Pet.1:3-4
Jesus is, therefore deal with the reality
