In his book, The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism", Tim Keller states "If Jesus rose from the dead, then you have to accept all that he said; if he didn’t rise from the dead, then why worry about any of what he said? The issue on which everything hangs is not whether or not you like his teaching but whether or not he rose from the dead."

In my message today we will focus on a well-known passage of scripture that has even been called “the resurrection creed” because of its creed-like structure. It is one of the earliest and most significant confessions of faith in the Christian tradition.
