Everything we know in Christianity hinges on the resurrection! If Jesus did not get up from the grave on the third day as He predicted then the whole thing is a lie. He did get up from the grave. Even with all the doubts and arguments against the resurrection the fact still remains undisturbed; Jesus is alive. If His personal prediction of rising from the dead came to pass according to His word, then we would be right to expect every other word He spoke to be correct. Nothing that Jesus prophesies will fall to the ground, it all will happen! He said that He would return, He will. He said that He would set up His Kingdom on earth, He will. He said that all the dead in Him will rise at the end of the age at the sound of His voice, it will happen. He said we would be changed from corruptible to incorruptible, we will. He said that whoever believes in Him will not see death, we won’t. The resurrection is the proof! It is undeniable, and after 2000yrs no one with a heart after the truth has been able to refute His resurrection! Now the question is if we have as Lord and God a man who raised Himself from the grave by the power of the Spirit, how should we live? If death was not a strong enough enemy to hold Christ down, then what in your life is insurmountable for Him? Are you trapped in wrong behavior because God lacks something in delivering you? No. You serve a God who not only died for you, but rose from the grave for you, in order to bring you into His fellowship, and He can clean you up, we just need to allow Him to perform His work in us.
