What if the Resurrection had not actually happened? What if Jesus was a hoax? What if the story was actually fiction? We considered that Easter Sunday. Take a look for yourself.
The Hope of Easter
1 Corinthians 15:12-20
If the resurrection had not happened:
- God is not who we say He is (v 14-15)
- Life is pointless. (v 17a)
- We are helplessly sinful. (vs 17b)
- There is no hope for the afterlife (vs 18-19)
BUT!!!!!
- Jesus IS alive
- Life has purpose
- Forgiveness is available
- Heaven is obtainable
