Importance of the Resurrection of Christ

1 Corinthians 15:3-8 

3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 

4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 

5 and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 

6 After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 

7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 

8 and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.

Romans 5:10 

For if, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!

Romans 6:5-10 

5 If we have been united with him like this in his death, we will certainly also be united with him in his resurrection. 

6 For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin— 

7 because anyone who has died has been freed from sin.

8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. 

9 For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. 

10 The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God.

Romans 8:11 

And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you.

Quotes 

- I have found silence to be a powerful element in prayer.  To learn to be alone with God even in the presence of others is something we Christians should try to do.  There are innumerable times during the day when we can turn our thoughts, even for a moment, from business affairs and center them on God’s goodness, Christ’s love, our fellow man’s needs. -  J. C. Penney

- The true Bible is not the dead book, but the living reality, developed by the Spirit of God in the conscience of mankind.  It is not a printed thing.  The printed thing is the memorial of it, a souvenir of it, a mere chart; and a chart is not the ocean. -  Phillips Brooks

JESUS

- Ps. 39:30 “I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify Him with thanksgiving.”
