Is He risen? Or is He not? The resurrection of Jesus is the greatest claim from scripture, and the central tenet upon which the Christian faith is built. So, is it possible for a dead person to be raised back to life? And what does this have to do with us today anyway? If the resurrection didn't happen, then the diagnosis from scripture is bleak; our faith is worthless, and this whole Christian thing is a big cosmic joke.
However, if Jesus is risen and alive today then it has implications for our faith, hope, and purpose in life. It offers us the assurance of salvation, the victory over death, and the promise of eternal life. His truth, His life, His death and His resurrection demands nothing short of our entire life. Let's explore this claim and various ways we can respond.
