In the first post of this series we saw that the resurrection is a necessary fact to what we believe. We then looked at the first three explanations for the empty tomb. We followed them to their logical conclusion and noticed that those three could not possibly be the case because in all instances the religious leaders could have simply produced the body and silenced the resurrection claims.

If Christ Be Not Raised... (Part 1 of 2)

The resurrection is one of the most important doctrines in the Christian faith. The whole of Christianity hinges on this singular event. For this reason, the resurrection is under much scrutiny. Many false religions attack the resurrection because without it Christianity falls short of anything more than another religion containing interesting stories and good morals.

What if Christ didn’t rise from the dead? Where would that leave us in Christianity? Would there be any reason to our beliefs? The Apostle Paul didn’t seem to think so in 1 Corinthians 15:14.
