“He isn’t here!

He is risen from the dead!”

Remember what he told you…

Luke 24:6

“It is finished!”

Then he bowed his head

and gave up his spirit.

John 19:30

…they nailed him to the cross.

And the criminals were also crucified—

one on his right and one on his left.

One of the criminals hanging beside him scoffed,

“So you’re the Messiah,

are you?

Prove it by saving yourself—

and us, too,

while you’re at it!”

But the other criminal protested,

“Don’t you fear God

even when you have been sentenced to die?

We deserve to die for our crimes,

but this man hasn’t done anything wrong.”

Then he said,

“Jesus,

remember me when you come into your Kingdom.”

And Jesus replied,

“I assure you,

today you will be with me in paradise.”

Luke 23:33, 39-43

The Word gave life to everything that was created,

and his life brought light to everyone.

The light shines in the darkness,

and the darkness can never extinguish it.

John 1:4-5

“Notice the fig tree,

or any other tree.

When the leaves come out,

you know without being told that summer is near.

In the same way,

when you see all these things taking place,

you can know that the Kingdom of God is near.

I tell you the truth,

this generation will not pass from the scene

until all these things have taken place.

Heaven and earth will disappear,

but my words will never disappear.

Luke 21:29-33

“And there will be strange signs

in the sun,

moon,

and stars.

And here on earth 

the nations will be in turmoil,

perplexed by the roaring seas and strange tides.

People will be terrified at what they see

coming upon the earth,

for the powers in the heavens will be shaken.

Then everyone will see the Son of Man

coming on a cloud with power and great glory.

So when all these things begin to happen,

stand and look up,

for your salvation is near!”

Luke 22:25-28

Jesus looked at them and said,

“Then what does this Scripture mean?

‘The stone that the builders rejected

has now become the cornerstone.’

Everyone who stumbles over that stone

will be broken to pieces,

and it will crush anyone it falls on.”

Luke 20:17-18

“I alone am God,

the First and the Last.

It was my hand that laid the foundations of the earth,

my right hand that spread out the heavens above.

When I call out the stars,

they all appear in order.”

Isaiah 48:12-13

I have cared for you since you were born.

Yes, 

I carried you before you were born.

I will be your God throughout your lifetime—

until your hair is white with age.

I made you,

and I will care for you.

I will carry you along and save you.

Isaiah 46:3-4

“I would not have told the people of Israel 

to seek me

if I could not be found. 

…there is no other God but me,

a righteous God and Savior.

There is none but me.

Let all the world look to me for salvation!

For I am God;

there is no other.

I have sworn by my own name;

I have spoken the truth,

and I will never go back on my word:

Every knee will bend to me,

and every tongue will declare allegiance to me.”

Isaiah 45:29, 21-23
