What You’ll Learn:
The apostle Paul put it straight and simple. “If Christ was not raised then neither our preaching nor your faith has any meaning at all. If Christ did not rise your faith is futile and your sins have never been forgiven.” (1 Corinthians 15:14 & 17) For the earliest Christians Jesus’ resurrection was a historical fact, every bit as real as His death on the cross. And without the resurrection Christianity was simply false. Faith in Jesus as Lord, Messiah or Son of God would have been pointless. The cold hard facts of reality would remain. Jesus was dead, and anything He had said or started died with Him. Yet, because the resurrection did take place we know our faith is real and Jesus is alive.
