<div class="SSN_intro">Intro: As we look at these events we have the advantage of hindsight. We see the cross from the opened tomb. But until the stone was rolled from the tomb.</div>
<div class="SSN_rnum">I. THE CROSS SIGNIFIED:</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">A. The triumph of evil over good.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. This seems to be the pattern of history.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. "The children of this world are wiser than the children of light."</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">3. Actually the battle is quite unfair.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. The good man would never stoop to the unfair tactics used by the evil.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. He would not lie or cheat to gain his point.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">4. The evil men by lies and threats had triumphed and Jesus was hanging on the cross.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">B. The triumph of hatred over love.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. These two (2) forces in constant conflict.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Hatred tears down.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. Love builds up.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Jesus Christ was the embodiment of love.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. It was love that brought Him to this world.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. He taught a quality of love unknown by man.</div>
<div class="SSN_level5">1. A love that gives without thought of return.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">c. He demonstrated that love.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">3. But now that love lies dead on the cross crucified by the hatred of man.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">C. The end of hope. "The people that sat in darkness saw great light."</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. While the light was shining hope filled their hearts.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Hope for a world of peace.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. Hope for a world of fairness.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">c. Hope for a world of love.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Now the light has been extinguished the light of the world hangs limp on the cross, and darkness covers the earth at noon.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">3. The disciples, heart broken and disillusioned, went home to a dark, dismal, hopeless world.</div>
<div class="SSN_rnum">II. THE EMPTY TOMB SIGNIFIES A TOTAL NEW PERSPECTIVE.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">A. Cross not a sign of defeat but victory.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. There our sins were canceled out.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Life has conquered over death.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">3. Light has vanquished darkness.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">4. Love had triumphed over hatred.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">B. The Easter message is a message of hope to a troubled, dying world.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">C. Wellington Defeated.</div>
