THE GRAVE COULD NOT HOLD JESUS

Sunday Service (5th April 2026)

Easter Sunday Celebration

Monthly Focus: Supernatural Power

Ministering: Pastor Wole Dahunsi

Texts: Luke 24:1-6; Revelations 1:18

Opening Charge: The foundation of our faith is in His resurrection.

Core Message

=> In the scripture, a lot of people died and were raised, but after a while, they died again. However, the only person who died, rose, and didn’t die again is our Lord Jesus Christ.

=> How can you restrict the King of Glory to the grave for too long? He was too much for the grave. He was too big for the grave.

=> Jesus didn’t come out of the grave by negotiation; He came out by power and force.

Three things in life that man has no power over, but Jesus subdued the three

1. Death. Hebrews 9:27.

2. Grave. 1 Corinthians 15:55.

3. Hell.

=> Only those who live a righteous life will escape hell.

Four reasons why the grave could not hold Him back

1. His divine person – because of who Jesus is (the number 2 in the Trinity).

=> It is impossible for the creature to hold the creator in captivity.

2. His divine power.

3. His divine promise.

4. His divine purpose.

Key Takeaways

1. Nobody wants to be a captive in life; everyone desires freedom.

2. Yes, we all want freedom, but we should be careful with the freedom. A freedom that is not used with wisdom can lead to destruction.

3. Many times, freedom does not come easily. You must be resolute, determined, and fully convinced to secure freedom.

4. There can’t be a recovery without a discovery.

5. The fact that people don’t believe in God does not stop his work in your life. The fact that people don’t believe in His resurrection does not stop the celebration.

6. Do not let this Easter season pass you by without a positive change. Philippians 3:10.

7. Those led by the flesh cannot live their lives to please God.

Prayers

1. Father, whatever I am going through that represents grave-like situations, the power of resurrection, bring me out of it today.

2. I decree and declare that every satanic and evil stone that eyes cannot see, that has been placed and positioned to stop me from moving ahead and going higher, power of resurrection, roll it away.
