Psalm 150:1-6
Song
Christ the Lord is Risen
Leader - There are those who say that Jesus didn't really die. His death, however, was confirmed by the officer, Pilate, Joseph of Arimathea, the religious leaders, and the women who witnessed his burial. Jesus suffered actual physical death on the cross.
People - Mark 15:44-45 (NLT) Pilate couldn’t believe that Jesus was already dead, so he called for the Roman officer and asked if he had died yet. The officer confirmed that Jesus was dead, so Pilate told Joseph he could have the body.
Leader - The religious leaders took Jesus' resurrection claims more seriously than the disciples did. The disciples didn't remember Jesus' teaching about his resurrection (20:17-19); but the religious leaders remembered and took steps they thought would prevent it (or at least a fabrication of it).
People - Matthew 27:63-66 (NLT) They told him, “Sir, we remember what that deceiver once said while he was still alive: ‘After three days I will rise from the dead. So we request that you seal the tomb until the third day. This will prevent his disciples from coming and stealing his body and then telling everyone he was raised from the dead!
