Does resurrection matter? It's a crazy idea, right? In Acts 17, Paul's insistence on preaching Jesus raised from the dead runs head-on into a wall of educated disbelief. But they are willing to hear him out - for a few minutes, anyway. 

What happens next and why it may (or may not) matter to us is a big part of knowing what God expects from us and that's important, because it is the standard by which we will be judged by Christ.
