The Cross & Resurrection — Why the Resurrection Matters

20 days ago

Today we walked through one of the most powerful truths in the Christian faith:
why the resurrection of Jesus matters — right now, in our daily lives.

Our main Scripture, 1 Corinthians 15:12–22, makes it clear:

📖 If Christ has not been raised… our faith is worthless,
we are still in our sins,
and we have no hope.
(1 Corinthians 15:14–17)

But praise God —
“Christ has been raised… the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.”
(1 Corinthians 15:20)

Because Jesus rose:

✨ Our sins are truly forgiven
✨ We walk in newness of life
✨ We have a living hope
✨ Death is defeated
✨ Our own resurrection is guaranteed

Supporting Scripture shows this even more beautifully:

📖 Romans 6:4 (CSB)

“Just as Christ was raised from the dead… so we too may walk in newness of life.”

📖 1 Peter 1:3 (CSB)

“He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection…”

📖 John 11:25–26 (CSB)

“I am the resurrection and the life… the one who believes in Me… will live.”

Every fear melts in the presence of resurrection truth.
Every burden becomes lighter.
Every future becomes secure.

Let this settle in your heart today:

“The tomb is empty —
so your life doesn’t have to be.”
