“He is not here; he is risen!” -Luke 24:6
1 Corinthians 15:16-20 (NIV)
16 For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either. 17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. 18 Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost. 19 If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied.
20 But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
Points:
1. If Christ wasn’t raised from the dead, then Christianity is pointless
2. If Christ was raised from the dead, then Christianity is infinitely important
