The resurrection of Jesus is the most important event in world history. Had this not occurred Christianity would just be a false religion, just like all of the other religions. While I could describe this event, and why it is important to mankind, in my own words, I do believe that by letting the Bible tell it, in God’s own Words, would be a far better thing to do. Therefore, here is what God says as found in 1 Corinthians chapter 15…

1Co 15:12  Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?

1Co 15:13  But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:

1Co 15:14  And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.

1Co 15:15  Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.

1Co 15:16  For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:

1Co 15:17  And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; you are yet in your sins.

1Co 15:18  Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.

1Co 15:19  If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.

1Co 15:20  But now is Christ risen from the dead…..

Yea, indeed, is Jesus risen from the dead and is alive today in Heaven, and He lives in the hearts of those who are His disciples. And, because Jesus is risen, man can be forgiven for his sins and be guaranteed to spend eternity in Heaven. Only they who repent and believe in Him, and who submit to His will and obey His commands, will know the love and forgiveness of God.

Yea, Christ is risen…

He is risen indeed…
