Why is the Resurrection so Important?
Luke 24:1-8
Both friends and enemies of the Christian faith have recognized the resurrection of Christ to be the foundation stone of the Faith. Paul, the great apostle, wrote to those in Corinth, who denied the resurrection of the dead: “If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is useless and so is your faith” (1 Corinthians 1:14, NIV). Paul rested his whole case on the bodily resurrection of Christ. Today, we examine the evidence. No one disputes that Jesus died and that three days later the tomb was empty. The only issue is – how did it come to be empty?
