Tonight’s Call – REVELATION ON THE RESURRECTION!

The physical resurrection of Jesus Christ is the cornerstone of redemption—both for mankind and for the earth. Indeed, without Christ’s resurrection and what it means—an eternal future for fully restored human beings dwelling on a fully restored Earth—there is no Christianity. The importance of the resurrection is that it is the center of Christianity, it’s the center of the gospel in particular, the wider beliefs of Christians as a whole. In a list of items in 1 Corinthians 15:12-20, Paul says, “If Christ has not been raised, then we’re of all persons most miserable.” And he just got done giving a list, he says, “Our preaching is vain, our witnessing is vain, we’re still in our sins.” Twice he says, “Our faith is vain.” You think, “Man, how long do I have to look at the New Testament before I see somebody say our faith is vain? I thought it was all about faith.” Well, faith in what? If Jesus couldn’t rise from the dead, how do you expect to rise from the dead?

And one that’s especially close to me there, in verse 18, he says, “Our loved ones who died in Christ have died in vain.” What if you had a loved one die…we all have! If the Christian hope is gone, why am I here today? Why am I doing any of this? There’s other things I’d rather be doing. So we must think from a very practical viewpoint, the resurrection anchors everything. In fact, if the resurrection is true, we know that Christianity follows. If all we know is that the gospel of the deity, death, resurrection of Jesus on the factual side, if that’s true, think about this. We can study other things in scripture for eternity. What view do you take on this? Well I don’t know. What view do you take on this? Sovereignty, free will, well let’s ask Paul. We’ll have eternity to ask some of those questions.

But the ones that get you in, the ones that get you past the entrance, the ones to which we’re required to say, “I do,” when we trust Christ. The resurrection is right there at the center of everything. It links in the New Testament over 300 verses, connected to almost every area of theology, and almost every area of practice. So assuming we could get to the resurrection, we have the center of faith together at once.

What difference does the Resurrection make for Christians? The Resurrection of Jesus should make all the difference. In the New Testament, we see a number of ways in which the reality of Jesus’ resurrection is applied to us as Christians. As we trust in Jesus, we are United to him by faith. Paul says, “Therefore, there’s a connection between what has happened to Jesus and what happens to us.” Jesus didn’t just die and rise, but in him we died with him. We rose with him. That has massive implications. That’s not just sort of symbolic. We actually spiritually have been raised with Christ. We’ve been given new spiritual life in Ephesians 2.

In Colossians 3, we’re told, “Since you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts and minds on things above.” We’re to have the perspective of people who have been spiritually given life. More than that, we’re to have actions as those who have new spiritual life, to clothe ourselves now in this risen life that we’ve been given in Jesus. It’s to affect us in terms of our holiness. We are to be what we are as those who are raised in Christ. We are to live as risen people.

How do we know the Resurrection of Christ is True? Gary Habermas, transcribed from the video below, gives his reasoning for how we know the Resurrection of Christ is true: Ancient history rarely is established on the grounds that we prefer in ancient historiography. We would like early and eyewitness accounts. Everybody likes early eyewitness accounts. Not all eyewitness accounts are early; so, we want an eyewitness account told as close to the data as possible. Now, we don’t have that for a good part of the ancient world. I mean, Livy, to use one example, Roman historian. He talks about things that happened in the founding of Rome hundreds of years before his earliest sources.

Our earliest sources for Alexander are 300 years later, and the best sources for Alexander are plus four and a quarter to plus four fifty. So, when people say the Gospels are hopelessly prejudiced and we can’t get anything out of them beginning at plus 40, 40 years after Jesus, it’s just like, “Let’s just apply some principles here and talk about history.” Yes, early eyewitness evidence can be wrong. So, what would you rather have? Late non-eyewitness evidence? I mean, you can only take your best evidence, even in court cases today.

Now, Bart Ehrman, who’s a very well-known skeptic, says that … He says, “Paul got this material just a very few years after the cross.” He says, “Think about this.” This is Bart Ehrman, best-known skeptic in America, non-Christian. He says, “Paul got to interview Peter and James. I’d like to interview Peter and James.” Then he says, “This is as close to eyewitness testimony as we can get.” It’s very close to eyewitness testimony three years after the cross from guys who believed they saw the risen Jesus. How do you know? Well, they teach that. Then they were willing to die for it.

Now, you say, “Well, I’m so tired of that. A lot of people are willing to die today. A lot of people …” Yes, right. But today people are willing to die for those guys’ testimony, or Muhammad’s testimony, or somebody else’s Buddha, what they believe would be Buddhist testimony. It has to only transform your life enough that you’re willing to die for their message, but you don’t know if it’s true or false. The disciples were in a place to know if it was true or false, and they were willing to die for it. So, the key here is, they were willing to die for a message for which they were in a position to know if it was true or false, right or wrong.
