“If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins.” 1 Corinthians 15:17
Is Jesus dead or alive? Why does it matter?
The resurrection makes Christianity distinct from every other religion. If the resurrection is true, it means that sin, death, and hopelessness do not win—Jesus does. It means that the empty tomb is the final word of Jesus. It means Jesus really did die for our sin and really did rise for our salvation.
