If Jesus walked among us today, would we recognize Him? Luke 24 tells of two of Christ’s followers who did not know Him when He appeared to them after His resurrection. Jesus confronted their doubt and sadness the same way He addresses ours today– with His Word. Exhibiting the evidence of the empty tomb, Alistair Begg explains that if we are going to understand Jesus, we must do so in light of Scripture. Christ conquered death on our behalf, and when we place our faith in Him, we have hope even in the face of our own mortality.

Psalm 22 describes suffering that King David experienced at the hands of his enemies and the anguish that he felt when it seemed that God was far away. Alistair Begg considers the Psalm in light of its ultimate fulfillment in the Lord Jesus, who was rejected by men and bore the wrath of God in the place of sinners. It is only by trusting in the substitutionary death of Christ that sinners can enjoy a restored relationship with God, to the praise of His glory.

When we first become a Christian, it is hard to imagine we would ever wander from Christ. But gradually we can find ourselves spending less time in the Bible and in prayer. Sometimes we aren't even aware how far we have wandered until a fellow Christian comes along side us with a reminder of the relationship with Christ we are ignoring.  In these sermons, Alistair Begg speaks to both those who are backsliding and those who come along side the wanderers.

Does the Church still matter, or is it an institution that is doomed to become obsolete? Alistair Begg explains that when the Lord Jesus said, "I will build my Church," His words were grounded in the eternal and unchanging purposes of God, and they stand firm. All of the Bible points forward to the work of Christ, who is gathering together a people of His own through the preaching of the Gospel. Christ has conquered, and in His triumph we are assured that His Church will certainly be victorious.

“You cannot grow in grace to any high degree while you are conformed to the world.” –C.H. Spurgeon

In His triumphant ascension, Christ demonstrated His victory over all powers of evil. Though His reign has yet to be realized on earth, when He ascended, Christ gave each of His followers unique and purposeful gifts enabling us to serve God. While these gifts are not equal in size or significance, they are a result of God’s grace and should not be a cause for pride or comparison. Alistair Begg points out that all Christians are called to serve because Christ has equipped us to do so, and we have no excuse for failing to use the gifts He has given.

People come back to life from the dead, and a body disappears. Centuries’ worth of prophecies are about to be fulfilled, but not in the way anyone expects—and conspiracies and political intrigue surround it all.
