In Touch, the teaching ministry of Dr. Charles Stanley.

Next on In Touch, because he lives.

Jesus was crucified and those who stood around him knew that he was dead.

No question their minds about it. He was a dead man.

Nobody expected him to rise from the grave. He was a dead man, crucified. So, Joseph, who was one

of the counsel, came in to ask for his body, and the body was given to him.

And the ladies came, bring in their spices and perfumes and so forth to wrap his body. And anybody who thought about a resurrection said it was nonsense.

In fact, that's what the Bible says.

For example, but these words appeared to them as nonsense,

and they would not believe them.

And we live in a world where many people still think today that it's nonsense.

Why do you and I get together and talk about a dead man? We get together knowing our

heart that he's not dead, that he's alive, that he's living within every single one of us.

So I want you to turn, if you will, to this 24th chapter of Luke, and it's always good to be

reminded scripturally of what's happening.

24th chapter of Luke, beginning in the first verse.

But on the first day of the week at the early dawn, they came to the tomb bringing the spices

which they prepared, and they found dawn, they came to the tomb bringing the spices which they prepared,

and they found the stone rolled away from the tomb. And when they entered, they did not find

the body of the Lord Jesus. And while they were perplexed about this, behold, two men suddenly

appeared, and they were in dazzling clothes.

There had to be angels.
