Objectives for Lesson 4 The Messiah Vindicated

1. Recite the basic facts related to the significance of the resurrection of Messiah Jesus, and how the entire credibility of our theology, faith, and ministry is based on the historical certainty of Jesus having been raised from the dead. 2. Provide a listing of the various appearances of Jesus, beginning with his resurrection at the tomb up until his appearance to the Apostles at the Sea of Galilee. 3. Cite biblical evidence to show the vindication of the Messianic identity of Jesus Christ through the apostolic testimony that he has been raised from the dead. 4. State briefly how the Great Commission serves as a continuing vindication of Jesus’ identity as Messiah, and the importance of this commission as it relates both to the fulfillment of prophecy as well as to global mission. 5. Show how the Great Commission was repeated in Jesus’ post-resurrection appearances, and how Jesus demonstrated his resurrection to the Apostles during a forty-day period of manifestation. 6. Argue for the importance and relevance of the ascension of Christ as the final historical sign which gives evidence that Jesus of Nazareth is the Messiah of God.
