Acts 2:23-24 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
[24] Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
The preaching of the cross may be foolishness to a pagan world, but it is the power of God to those who believe - 1 Cor. 1:18.
On the day of Pentecost Peter preached that Jesus Christ went to an old rugged cross and died between Heaven and earth to pay the sin debt of the entire world.
According to the Bible, He arose from the tomb the third day and He still lives to save the lost.
When you place your faith in His death, burial and resurrection, then and only then can you be confident that you will miss Hell and go to Heaven and live forever.
Rise Again
_____________
Go ahead, drive the nails in My hands, — Laugh at Me, where you stand. — Go ahead, and say it isn't Me. — The day will come, when you will see.
CHORUS:
'Cause I'll rise, again. — Ain't no power on earth can tie Me down. — Yes, I'll rise, again. — Death can't keep Me in the ground.
Go ahead, and mock My name. — My love for you is still the same. — Go ahead, and bury Me, — But very soon, I will be free. - - -
Go ahead, and say I'm dead and gone, — But you will see that you were wrong. — Go ahead, try to hide the Son, — But all will see that I'm the One. - - -
