A Case For Resurrection – I Cor. 15:12-58

Have you ever wondered why Jesus' resurrection was made part of the salvation plan? We understand the why behind the crucifixion and the shedding of blood. Both were necessary as payment sin. But why did God chose to resurrect Jesus' physical body? Surely Jesus could have returned to heaven in same the form he occupied before indwelling flesh. So why resurrect the body?

We can't provide a definitive answer. But we can make a case for the resurrection. There are four points to this case; each of them demonstrates something that we can hold on to when doubts and fears creep in. As we study, remember that the Christian faith is unique in many ways. It's especially unique in the doctrine of the resurrection of Jesus.
