Introduction The Resurrection of Jesus the Christ validates who Jesus was and is. Stipulating whether Jesus has, or had not been resurrected as the Scriptures proclaim entirety, and all that was foretold, happened, and predicted about Him is annulled. Furthermore, it invalidates the Church and more importantly Christians that are followers of Christ. Introductory of John 5:24-28 – The passage where this truth is emphasized more than any other is in John’s writing of his account of the Gospel…

The religion Christianity is grounded through the wisdom and miracles of Jesus Christ. Many may call him Jesus or Christ but in actuality Jesus is Christ which means anointed one. Jesus Christ was no average person, he is the God the Father who came to this world and fulfilled the Old Testament laws and prophecies, died on the cross, and rose from the dead physically.

The resurrection of Jesus Christ separates Christianity from all other religions. Christianity without the literal, physical resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is merely one religion among many. "And if Christ is not risen," said the Apostle Paul, "then our preaching is empty and your faith is in vain”. (1 Corinthians 15:14) Furthermore, "You are still in your sins!” Paul could not have chosen stronger language. (Mohler) Still, the resurrection of Jesus Christ has been under persistent…

In all four gospel accounts, the evangelists paint a vivid depiction of Jesus’ crucifixion, placing women gazing upon his scourged and fragile body and weeping at the foot of the cross. Jesus not only was a great speaker, miracle worker, healer, and leader who advocated for those in the margins, he was also a son, a cousin, and a dear friend to many.
