The necessity and importance of the resurrection of Jesus Christ cannot be exaggerated. The Apostle Paul wrote to the Corinthians, “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the Gospel, which I preached unto you (I Corinthians 15:1).” In Verses 3 and 4 he continues, “For I declared unto you first of all that which I also received how that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures: and that He was buried, and that He arose again the third day...” Here Paul asserts that the Gospel is not only the death and burial of Christ, but also His resurrection. Without the resurrection, there is no Gospel.
