This week Bro. Leo continues our last week study of four points the Resurrection of Jesus mean to Christians. 1) the Resurrection is the central truth and foundation of the Christian faith. 2) The Resurrection proves that Jesus was/is the Son of God. 3) The Resurrection confirms that the blood sacrifice of Jesus on the cross has been accepted by God the Father as payment for all sins. 4) The Resurrection is the basis of all hope and the assurance of our eternal salvation. This week Bro. Leo concentrates us on the third point, 3) The Resurrection confirms that the blood sacrifice of Jesus on the cross has been accepted by God the Father as payment for all sins.
