How unfortunate that church services may stress the empty tomb only on Easter Sunday, or even just through the Eastertide season. The resurrection culminates the passion narrative in all four Gospels because it is at the center of redemption itself.
Without it, one can only pity Jesus as a dead martyr whose lofty ideals were sadly misunderstood. Paul bluntly stated that apart from the resurrection our faith and message are in vain 1 Corinthians To be sure, the apostolic proclamation of the gospel centered on the cross Galatians ; 1 Corinthians ; 1 Peter ; Hebrews , 14; ; Revelations , 9. But the meaning of the cross is at best unclear without the resurrection. Any presentation of the good news of Jesus the Messiah must stress His resurrection as the essential explanation of His death and the proof of its saving power.
Jesus is not a dead martyr to be pitied, but a living, reigning, returning Lord to be loved and emulated, both in present suffering and in future reward Philippians Learn more about the undergraduate experience below or explore campus with a virtual tour.

If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God , for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead.
But he did not raise him if in fact the dead are not raised. For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost. Among the Old Testament prophecies about the Messiah are predictions of a resurrection Psalm —11, Psalm —18, Job — They will condemn him to death and will hand him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified.
On the third day he will be raised to life! Jesus made many post-resurrection appearances. He came to the disciples multiple times and even appeared to more than people at once 1 Corinthians —9.
