Why is Easter so important? The entire Christian faith hinges upon the physical resurrection of Jesus. If Easter did not take place, then Christians have nothing to celebrate. We are still in our sins, separated from God, and completely lost. But if Jesus did rise then He is the first to conquer death and give us hope that we will resurrect also. In this message pastor Chris teaches that Jesus may not have been the first to die, but He is the first to get back up again.
