Christ by His resurrection from the dead overcome the curse of God upon the creation of man after his fall. It was a process of great length that the Father has to send the Son to accomplish the victory over the last enemy, namely, death. From prediction to fruition and the final consummation spans the entire history of mankind since his creation and to the end of the age.
The Apostle Paul described death as the last enemy that shall be destroyed with the resurrection of the dead in the consummation of the age. Death has been the greatest impasse for mortal men since the fall of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Death was first defeated at the cross when Jesus Christ suffered and died for the sins of men and rose from the dead three days later.
Acts 26:21-32 (KJV)
21 For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about to kill me.
22 Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come:
23 That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.
24 And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad.
25 But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness.
26 For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner.

The resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is a testimony to the resurrection of the dead in the time when Christ returns to bear rule over all the earth. He will return the dead in Christ to glory at His coming. The world seemed to be derailing itself as men sought war as a means of resolving their conflicts. Weapons and better weapons are the answers to broker peace in a fallen world where might is right.
500th Anniversary of the Protestant Reformation – Meaning and Significance
On 28th October 2017, a special commemoration service for the 500th Anniversary of the Protestant Reformation will be held at the rented premises of The Salvation Army’s Worship Centre at 500, Upper Bukit Timah Road from 4pm – 6pm, followed by fellowship dinner at the Fellowship Hall.
We are thankful to the Lord that Rev. Dr. Jeffrey Khoo, Pastor of True-Life Bible-Presbyterian Church and Principal of the Far Eastern Bible College will be our guest speaker. He will share with us the “Meaning and Significance” of the 500th Anniversary of the Protestant Reformation in two messages.
We invite you to come and support this milestone event in the history of the Church of Jesus Christ on earth.
Jeremiah 6:16 Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.
The first fruits will be an indicator of the quality of the harvest to come. Because Jesus rose from the dead, He is described as the firstfruits of the bumper harvest of the souls of believers that will be raised from the dead and given a glorified body like that of Jesus after His resurrection from the dead. This will take place when Jesus Christ returns. I believe that Jesus’ coming again is soon. The church needs to be ready.
God made a coat of skin to cover their nakedness and take away their shame. This was a pre-figuring of the coming of the Christ that will take away the sin of the world and restore to man life. In the fullness of time, Christ Jesus was born and lived a perfect life and died to pay the sins of men and Jesus rose again from the dead the third day, victorious over sin and death.
The Christian faith is an objective faith in the Person of Jesus Christ. Jesus is the object of our faith. This is the substance of the Christian faith. And what is the significant truth to be conveyed? Jesus Christ died and rose again from the dead the third day. The significant truth is the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. He is alive. He overcame death for us. He conquered death to live forevermore. If this is not true then men indeed is miserable.
