IN-TOMB RESURRECTION!

2 Kings 13:20-21 TM:  ...Elisha died and they buried him.  Some time later, raiding bands of Moabites, as they often did, invaded the country.  One day, some men were burying a man and spotted the raiders.  They threw the man into Elisha's tomb and got away.  When the body touched Elisha's bones, the man came alive, stood up, and walked out on his own two feet.

John  11:40:  Jesus looked her in the eye, "Didn't I tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?"

vv. 43-45 NLT:  Then Jesus shouted, "Lazarus, come out!"  And Lazarus came out, bound in graveclothes, his face wrapped in a headcloth.  Jesus told them, "Unwrap him and let him go!"  Many of the people who were with Mary believed in Jesus when they saw this happen.

Matthew 27:50-53:  Then Jesus shouted out again, and he gave up his spirit.  At that moment the curtain in the Temple was torn in two, from top to bottom.  The earth shook, rocks split apart, and tombs opened.  The bodies of many godly men and women who had died were raised from the dead after Jesus' resurrection.  They left the cemetery, went into the holy city of Jerusalem, and appeared to many people. 

28:1-2:  Early on Sunday morning, as the new day was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went out to see the tomb.  Suddenly there was a great earthquake, because an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and rolled aside the stone and sat on it.

v. 9:  And as they went, Jesus met them.  "Greetings!" he said.  And they ran to him....

Beyond Five:  Ephesians 2:1-6.  Prayer:  Speak the word in the tomb of my friends' sin, and create new life in them!
