The entirety of Christianity hinges on the Resurrection; it rises or falls depending on whether Jesus was literally resurrected. If He was physically, bodily resurrected, then Christianity is valid, as is your faith. If He was not resurrected, then Christianity is a hoax. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost. If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied” (1 Corinthians 15:14, 17–19 NIV).

“But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

— 1 Corinthians 15:57 (NLT)

Lord Jesus, we thank You for transforming our lives and empowering us to live victoriously and to face death without fear. In Your holy name I pray, amen.
