    About this ebook

    "He is not here. He has risen." "Come see the place where the Lord lay."  These are the words of the angel to Mary and the other women who visited Jesus' tomb early on the first day of the week. They expected to find a tomb with the body of Jesus based on their questions to the two young men in white. However, they found it empty. They thought His body was stolen. They then realized he rose from the dead just as He had said. This book is about the resurrection power that we have in Jesus Christ the Lord. As the apostle  Paul stated in 1 Corinthians 15 about the gospel and what it is and is not.   The gospel is simply about the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This is what makes our faith stand. Without this then our faith would be easily shaken like trash in the wind. Read this book if you want to know about the resurrection power in Jesus Christ and if you want to grow in Christ as the teachings are biblically sound. As the apostle Paul stated to Timothy there will come a time when men will not listen to sound doctrine. The time of the end is nearer than we can imagine and the gospel needs to be preached now more than ever and this can only be done through the resurrection power of Jesus Christ.

      Risen - Paul A. Lynch

      Introduction

      All our hope is in God. This is what the Holy Bible teaches us. Outside of God, we can’t survive. Let’s not even think about anything else. All things are in God’s hands. The invisible world that humans on earth can’t see is governed by God. All things are and were created for him, by him, and for his purpose (see Colossians 1:16-20). And we know everything works together for good to those who love God (see Romans 8:28). While we can now boast and say we love God and we are living by grace, free from sin, and on our way to heaven all this would be in vain if Christ hadn’t died and rose from the dead. Everything on earth would make us miserable. The greatest power in this world and the invisible is that of the resurrection. 

      This scripture reminds us of Romans 6:1.

      Romans 6:1

      What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

      This book is a brief account that analyzes and tells the story of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.  

      The Upper Room

      The Jewish Passover is called Pesach. The purpose of Passover is to commemorate the Jewish enslavement in Egypt, and how God destroyed the Egyptians and set His people free. It was a system of slavery. Slavery isn’t a new phenomenon. Slavery existed from the very beginning of time. Jesus said to his apostles they were slaves to whom they obeyed (Romans 6:16). If we obey sin we’re a slave to it. If we obey righteousness we’re a slave to it. We should all remember why the Hebrews were in slavery. Joseph became a great prince before Pharaoh after he revealed what his dreams meant. Remember Joseph was the youngest son of Jacob or Israel as he was called by the angel. He was the son of Rachel. His father gave him a coat of many colors, and his brothers envied him. Joseph was a dreamer. Each time he got a dream he revealed it to his family. His brothers envied him even more, but Israel his father pondered them.

      His brothers kidnapped him and sold him to his cousins the Ishmaelite’s. The Ismaelites were descended from Ismael.  Ismael was the one who begot the Arab nation. The Arab nation today consists of the Islamic peoples in the Middle East and their descendants.

      Joseph was sold by the Ismaelites to the Egyptians. An Egyptian high official called Potiphar bought him and he found favor with Joseph. In time, Joseph became the leader of the house until Potiphar’s wife wanted him to lie with her. She enticed Joseph every day.  Joseph refused. He saw this as wickedness before God. There were no Ten Commandments as yet, but he knew the concept of sin. The wife lied on Joseph, and her husband tossed him into prison. Potiphar knew he was innocent. At the time, the Hebrew boy was young. In his early twenties. In prison was when he got the breakthrough. He became the leader of the other prisoners. This didn’t happen overnight. Often we believe that when we pray everything should change immediately. However, the Bible tells us otherwise. It tells us everything happens in its own time (Ecclesiastes 3:1).

      A few years later, he saw two prisoners a butler and a baker. These men had worked for Pharaoh in the past. Both offended him and got kicked into prison. Defying Pharaoh could bring forth death. Both men went to sleep the same night and got a dream. One dreamt he was pouring wine in Pharaoh’s cup and the other saw that birds ate cakes from a basket in his hands. Both men woke up sad. The reason why the Bible provides insight into this from the Book of Genesis is that in Ancient Egypt dreams were important. In the dynasty, there were many magicians, soothsayers, and astrologers who worked for Pharaoh.

      Joseph saw the butler and baker and saw the sad look on their faces. Being the type of man that he was, he asked them why they looked sad. They explained that they had dreams that needed an interpreter. Joseph heard the dreams and interpreted them. He told the butler he would serve wine as before in three days, and the chief baker would be hanged in three days. In three days, everything he had told them was fulfilled. However, Joseph had to wait several years later because although he told the butler to remember him before Pharaoh he somehow didn’t until the king had two dreams. Now was the time that God was about to bring him out of prison and into a palace. Pharaoh dreamed and he saw seven fat cows and seven ugly looking
