The Resurrection

Three days ago Jesus’ friends saw him die and buried his body, but then Jesus was alive standing in front of them! Everything God has been doing in history until now has been preparing for this moment. All the nations of the earth sinned against their Creator and deserved punishment, but Jesus’ death paid for their sins. Then they can receive forgiveness through it. Jesus wanted all people to hear this good news and give them the opportunity to repent and ask forgiveness. It offers this hope and salvation to the whole world even for me and you!

“Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me.” 1 Corinthians‬ ‭15‬:‭1‬-‭8‬ ‭
