Boy, sometime this week, as we get deeper into the final week of this class, we're going to be talking about the new . Right here we start in the new birth, because the resurrection is the key to the new birth.

If Jesus Christ arose, if he arose then the new birth became a reality on the day of Pentecost, and if Jesus Christ did not rise again from the dead then there is no eternal life or new birth today, class..

I want to ask you tonight how many of you believe that George Washington was the first president of the United States? Hold up your hands. Well, there's not an unbeliever in the outfit tonight. Wonderful. One? Well, we make, we make reservations for some of these fellows, I guess.

How many of you believe Abraham Lincoln lived, hold up your hands. What year did Abe Lincoln die, historian? April 19th, April 19, 18.. what? So, on April the 19th, 1900, and 1900, 1965 will be the 100th anniversary. This will be this year, 100 years since Abe Lincoln was assassinated.

Is there anyone in the audience tonight who is about 115 years old? Nobody, yet? You believe that Abe Lincoln lived, and was the president of our United States, and that he was assassinated on April the 19th? Even he believes this, because I got him to say it, April the 19th 1865.

All right why do you believe? Why do you believe it? You know why? Because you read it, or somebody told you. There is no one of you have who have seen George Washington. Yet you believe he was president of the United States or something.

Abraham Lincoln. Not a one of you seen, then why do you believe it? All right, get honest for once in your life, why do you believe it? Because you read it in a book, or somebody told you. Right?

Well bless your heart! I want to tell you, we've got more authentication for the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the power of his holy spirit on the day of Pentecost, than you have that Abraham Lincoln lived, or George Washington. I’ve got more proof for this, more proof for this, than you have for anything else.

You know why? Because not only do you get it from the Word of God, but once you are born again of God's spirit and the power of God moves in your soul, you have manifestations. And when you have manifestations, the things of God are proof in the senses world.
Understand. This is why this week sometime, when we work the new birth and I get every member in the class seated down here, I’m going to find out whether you are willing to accept the greatness of the reality of the resurrection of Christ, which is built upon just as certain a ground… (as a matter of fact more certain, if you are a real scientist)…. than Abe Lincoln or George Washington.

The resurrection. What he accomplished in the resurrection is the greatest thing that God ever did in any person's life, as far as Jesus Christ or anyone else was concerned.

It had to be someone who said, “I have seen!”

Ladies and gentlemen, I have seen with mine own eyes, and experienced within myself, the resurrection of the lord Jesus Christ. Our gospel, our gospel of salvation hinges upon the reality of the resurrection and what he accomplished in this resurrection for us.

Look at Acts 4. Look at verse 1. I want verse 2 to be read, but verse 1 gives you the background.

[Acts 4:1,2] And as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them, being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

Preached through Jesus the resurrection from what? [dead]

[continuing in verse 3] Then they laid hands on them and put them in prison.

That's what happened. Had they talked about Jesus being a prophet would they have done this to him? No.

You know what got Peter and John and the rest of these apostles in the soup all the time, in trouble? Because they preached something that really shook them. They preached that Jesus Christ had risen from what? [the dead] Then there must be something in the resurrection, that really upset those Sadducees and the captain of the temple and the priests. Right?

You know what it was, that before this, no one had ever risen from the dead, in the resurrection type of thing, and they knew this because after Jesus Christ was resurrected, It was no secret, it was no secret.
