But now is Christ risen from the dead.” — 1 Corinthians 15:20

The whole system of Christianity rests upon the fact that “Christ is risen from the dead;” for, “If Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain: ye are yet in your sins.” The divinity of Christ finds its surest proof in His resurrection, since He was “Declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead.” It would not be unreasonable to doubt His Deity if He had not risen. Moreover, Christ’s sovereignty depends upon His resurrection, “For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that He might be Lord both of the dead and living.” Again, our justification, that choice blessing of the covenant, is linked with…

Christ’s triumphant victory over

death and the grave; for “He was delivered for our offences, and was raised
again for our justification.” Nay, more, our very regeneration is connected
with His resurrection, for we are “Begotten again unto a lively hope by the
resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.” And most certainly our
ultimate resurrection rests here, for, “If the Spirit of Him that raised up
Jesus from the dead dwell in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead
shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in you.”
If Christ be not risen, then shall we not rise; but if He be risen then they
who are asleep in Christ have not perished, but in their flesh shall surely
behold their God. Thus, the silver thread of resurrection runs through all
the believer’s blessings, from his regeneration onwards to his eternal glory,
and binds them together. How important then will this glorious fact be in
his estimation, and how will he rejoice that beyond a doubt it is
established, that “now is Christ risen from the dead.”

“The promise is fulfill’d,

Redemption’s work is done,
Justice with mercy’s reconciled,
For God has raised His Son.”
