<div class="SSN_title">"THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE."</div>
<div class="SSN_rnum">I. THERE ARE BASIC QUESTIONS BURIED DEEP IN THE SOUL OF EVERY MAN.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">A. We do not think about them every day, yet we never escape them.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Our lives for the most part are overcrowded with non-essentials.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. In our day of mass communication, we have become very broad, not very deep.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. We know a little about everything.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. We don't know much about anything.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">c. "Man, poor man..."</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">B. After the party is over, the crowd has gone and I lie alone on my bed, the question suddenly arises to conscious level.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Why am I here? What is life all about?</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Is this life, all there is?</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">3. The philosophers sought the answers to these questions.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. They would gather daily in their sessions as they searched for satisfactory answers.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. The age of philosophy had passed its golden age and was dying and they provided no adequate answers for man.</div>
<div class="SSN_rnum">II. JESUS PROVIDED AN ANSWER FOR MAN. "I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE."</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">A. This is a very radical claim.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Can you imagine anyone else in history daring to make such a claim?</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. It immediately marks the claimant as a madman or the Son of God.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">3. Jesus challenged Martha, "Do you believe this?"</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. This divides all men into two categories:</div>
<div class="SSN_level5">1. Those who believe.</div>
<div class="SSN_level5">2. Those who don't believe.</div>
<div class="SSN_level5">3. Those who have a hope of eternal life.</div>
<div class="SSN_level5">4. Those who have no hope.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">B. Age of science has superseded the age of philosophy.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. No man has been able to successfully challenge that claim.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. You can choose to believe it or not.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Your unbelief does not rise from intellectual difficulties.</div>
<div class="SSN_level5">1. Men far more intelligent than you are, the greatest believers.</div>
<div class="SSN_level5">2. Belief is deeper than intellectual apprehension.</div>
<div class="SSN_level5">3. A matter of the heart (spirit).</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. Your unbelief rises from your choice to deny evidence and not believe.</div>
<div class="SSN_rnum">III. WHY DO CHRISTIANS DIE TODAY?</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">A. What is true life?</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Eating, breathing? I see a 90-year old man. He's really living!</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. There are various qualities of life.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. A quality that cannot die "eternal."</div>
