The Resurrection of Jesus Christ

Everything in Christianity stands or falls on the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. I wouldn’t be a Christian today, if Jesus Christ hadn’t died, was buried and then rose again. I for one, wouldn’t be wanting to follow some esoteric teaching of some ancient philosopher who died and whose bones are buried somewhere. I believe in a living God, one who is alive today and reigns in Heaven and in my heart, and who is coming to earth again very soon.

The apostle Paul gives us the gist of it all in 1 Corinthians 15:1-8 (NLT):
Let me now remind you, dear brothers and sisters, of the good news I preached to you before. You welcomed it then, and you still stand firm in it. It is this good news that saves you if you continue to believe the message I told you—unless, of course, you believed something that was never true in the first place. I passed on to you what was most important and what had also been passed on to me. Christ died for our sins, just as the Scriptures said. 

He was buried, and He was raised from the dead on the third day, just as the Scriptures said. He was seen by Peter and then by the Twelve. After that, He was seen by more than 500 of his followers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have died. Then He was seen by James and later by all the apostles. Last of all, as though I had been born at the wrong time, I also saw Him.
