Paul said it bluntly: "If Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith."
1 Corinthians 15:14
The resurrection isn't a side detail. It's everything.
Without it, Yeshua is just another dead prophet. Another nice teacher with good ideas.
With it? He's the Messiah. The King. The proof that death doesn't win.
So Did It Happen?
Here's what we know:
- The tomb was empty. Even the enemies of Yeshua admitted it.
- Over 500 people claimed to see Him alive after His crucifixion. (1 Corinthians 15:6)
- His disciples went from hiding in fear to boldly proclaiming His resurrection, even unto death.
People don't die for a lie they invented.
The Hebrew Bible Predicted It
Psalm 16:10 says, "You will not let Your Holy One see decay."
David wrote that. But David's body did decay.
So who was he talking about?
Someone who would die... but not stay dead.
If He Rose, Everything Changes
If Yeshua rose from the dead, then:
- Death isn't the end
- Sin can be forgiven
- Hope is real
- You have a future beyond the grave
So What Do You Believe?
You can dismiss it. Lots of people do.
Or you can investigate. Look at the evidence. Ask the hard questions.
Because if the resurrection is true, it changes everything.
