What The Resurrection Means to Me

Christianity claims that Christ rose from the dead while the unbelieving world thinks, "That's amazing, if true, but ultimately, so what?" "What does the death, burial, and resurrection of a man thousands of years ago have to do with me in the twenty-first century?"

Here's what the resurrection of Christ means to me: What happened to Christ can happen to me! Like him, I will die, but his resurrection is a promise that death is not the end. His resurrection gives me hope for a glorious future - free from pain, sorrow, and death. My most outlandish dreams of peace, love, and harmony can be fulfilled!

I love the words of the Apostle Paul recorded in I Corinthians 15:1-4:

1. Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand,
2. by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you--unless you believed in vain.
3. For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
4. and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures,
