Ask us a question for us to answer in a future episode!

The resurrection is not just a claim to be defended, it’s a verdict that changes what’s true about your Bible, your Savior, and your future. We open in 1 Corinthians 15 and follow Paul’s gospel core: Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day according to the Scriptures. Then we ask the sharper question many Easter messages skip: what does the resurrection of Jesus actually prove for everyday life and for saving faith?

We connect the empty tomb to Bible reliability and fulfilled prophecy, tracing the storyline from the Old Testament into the apostles’ preaching in Acts. If the resurrection validates Jesus, it also validates the Scriptures that point to Him and the witnesses who stake their lives on what they saw. From there, we go personal and direct: the resurrection proves the deity of Christ, not merely Jesus the teacher or martyr, but Jesus the Son of God with power. That identity is why the cross can forgive sins and why Easter morning is more than inspiration.

We also talk about assurance of salvation when feelings wobble, using Romans 4 to tie Good Friday and Easter Sunday into one saving work: delivered for our offenses and raised for our justification. Finally, we face the forward edge of the resurrection: judgment is coming because Jesus is appointed Judge, and heaven is offered because He prepares a place for His people in John 14. If Jesus rose, He will be either our judge or our advocate.
