THE EASTER STORY (GOD IN THE FLESH) JESUS

THE EASTER MESSAGE (BY DR JACK VAN IMPE) AND REXELLA
www.jvim.com

CHRIST THE TRUE GOD OF ISRAEL AND THE WORLD.

EASTER IS FORGIVENESS

EPHESIANS 4:32
32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

THE TRUE GOSPEL MESSAGE (THE GOOD NEWS)

1 CORINTHIANS 15:1-4
1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

ROMANS 1:16
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power (Dynamite) of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

ROMANS 10:15
15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

1 CORINTHIANS 1:18
18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

PHILIPPIANS 1:17
17 But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.(GOOD NEWS)

SATAN HATES THE GOSPEL MESSAGE.

2 CORINTHIANS 4:4
4 In whom the god of this world (Satan) hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

JACK SAYS THERES CHURCHES IN MICHIGAN THAT WON'T EVEN SPEAK JESUS' NAME DURING EASTER. THEY DON'T BELIEVE IN THE DEATH, BURIAL AND RESURRECTION AND TRINITY.

WHAT HAPPENS TO THESE CHURCHES (PEOPLE) THAT DENY THE TRUE GOSPEL.

GALATIANS 1:8-9
8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel (then the Death, Burial and Resurrection) unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

CHRISTIANS PERSECUTED BECAUSE OF THE GOOD NEWS.

MORE CHRISTIANS HAVE BEEN KILLED IN THE 20TH CENTURY, THEN THE 1ST 1,900 YEARS COMBINED. SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY BELIEVED THE GOOD NEWS JACK WAS TALKING ABOUT. THE GOSPEL, THEY RECIEVED CHRIST.

ALL THESE OTHER RELIGIONS CAN'T STAND JESUS OR THE GOSPEL MESSAGE. THE TRUE MESSAGE.

JESUS MESSAGE OF THE DEATH, BURIAL AND RESURRECTION HAS ALWAYS BEEN DESPISED (HATED).

THE WORLD HATED JESUS.

MATTHEW 9:34
34 But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils.

JOHN 8:41
41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication;(Sexual impurity) we have one Father, even God.

PERSECUTION WILL HAPPEN TO ALL OF US TRUE BELIEVERS.

JOHN 15:18-20
18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.

NO OTHER RELIGION LEADS TO SALVATION ONLY ONE (I STRESS ONLY) CHRISTIANITY.

MATTHEW 1:21
21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

PHILIPPIANS 2:10-11
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

WHY DID JESUS (GOD OF ISRAEL) COME TO EARTH.

ISAIAH 53:3-7
3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.

JESUS IS GOD IN THE FLESH (THE TRUE MESSIAH OF ISRAEL).

MICAH 5:2
2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.

JOHN 1:1,14,3,10 (JESUS (GOD) CREATED US ALL).
1 In the beginning was the Word,(CHRIST) and the Word (CHRIST) was with God, and the Word (CHRIST) was God.
14 And the Word was made flesh,(INCARNATION) and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

ROMANS 9:5
5 Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.

1 TIMOTHY 3:16
16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

HEBREWS 1:8
8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

1 JOHN 5:20
20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

1 JOHN 3:16
16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

JESUS OVER CAME DEATH (THE ONLY LEADER TO EVER DIE AND COME TO LIFE) OUR RISEN SAVIOR.

THIS IS THE DIFFERENCE FROM ALL OTHER RELIGIONS. IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE THIS YOU ARE NOT A CHRISTIAN.

ROMANS 10:9
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

1 CORINTHIANS 15:3-4
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

2 TIMOTHY 2:8
8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:

HEBREWS 13:20
20 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,

REVELATION 1:8
8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO HEAVEAN (CHRIST).

EPHESIANS 1:7
7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

JOHN 14:6
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

ACTS 4:12
12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

1 JOHN 5:11-13
11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

JESUS PROMISED IF I GO I WILL COME AGAIN. (RAPTURE AND SECOND COMING LITERALLY BACK TO EARTH)

1 CORINTHIANS 15:22
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

RAPTURE (1ST)

REVELATION 4:1-2
1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.
2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.

1 THESSALONIANS 4:13-18
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

1 CORINTHIANS 15:51-55
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

DON'T SCOFF AT THE LEFT BEHIND SERIES (PEOPLE) MILLIONS OF CHRISTIANS WILL BE DISAPPEARING IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE. POSSIBLY BY 2012.

PSALMS 17:15
15 As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.

SECOND COMING TO EARTH BODILY.

ZECHARIAH 14:4
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

REVELATION 20:4
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

REVELATION 19:11-16
11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be Saved.
