Let's turn in our Bibles to the passage of scripture which we read, 1st Corinthians chapter 15, and as God would help me, I'd like to concentrate on verses 12 to 14.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
1st Corinthians chapter 15 verses 12 to 14. Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
And your faith is in vain. Around 2,000 years ago, a man rose from his grave by his own power.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
When that man was alive, he claimed to be God. When he rose from the grave, that fact was crucified.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
That fact was verified. Every claim he made was proved to be true by the fact he rose from the grave, from the dead, by his own power.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
The result of that was that history has been dated with regard to his birth. B.C. Before Christ.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
A.D. Latin for in the year of our Lord. He was not a mere man. He was God.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
And so powerful, so evident was that fact that he rose from the dead. The Roman Empire was powerless to overcome this growing religion called Christianity.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
Or the way as it was called then. And the Roman Empire formalized Christianity in Christ's name.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
It formalized religion in his name as a result of that event 2,000 odd years ago. Now, as science cannot prove historical events, it can only prove what is repeatable, observable, and measurable.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
The proponents of science itself tell us they can only prove what is repeatable, observable, and measurable. So the best that can be done for historical accounts is the level of credibility given to its statements.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
Now, here's the important thing. There is more credible verification that Christ rose from the dead than there is that a man called Napoleon ever lived.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
Remember that. If someone says to you, I don't believe Christ rose from the dead. Ask them, do they believe that Napoleon ever lived?
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
And you can safely say, there's what, a hundred times more verifiable, credible statements showing the resurrection of Christ than there is that Napoleon ever lived.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
Now, we need to remember that with regard to our salvation, the central point is the crucifixion of Christ.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
Because Christ died for our sins, as verse 1 says, sorry, verse 3.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
I deliver to you of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins in accordance for the scripture.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
That's the basis on which we have salvation. But when we talk about the central point of the Christian religion, it's actually the resurrection.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
How do we know that when Christ died on that center cross that Friday afternoon, how do we know he paid for the sins of his people?
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
Why was it not the other? Why not the other two thieves? Why not the one on the left? Why not the one on the right? What was different about Christ in the middle?
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
He rose from the dead. That's how we know he was God. He rose from the dead. And that's why the resurrection, as it were, for lack of a better word, proves the truth of all his claims.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
Now, it's pretty clear from what we read, that rising from the dead is a greater feat, actually, than dying on a cross.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
You see, one can die on a cross and be merely human. There were other two people crucified that Friday afternoon.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
They were only human beings. But Christ was also God. A real human being, but also full God.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
As someone said, a hundred percent God and a hundred percent human. To rise from the dead, you need to be more than human.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
You need to be divine to raise yourself from the dead. Which Christ did. You see, one can die on a cross and be a sinner.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
The other two. The other two that Friday afternoon died on a cross. They were both sinners. They were both sinners.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
But not the one in the middle. Not the one in the middle. He was sinless. He was God incarnate. One can die on a cross innocently.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
And there possibly has been some. I don't know. One can die on a cross collegiously. And never rise from the grave. But Christ did.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
Christ did. And when Christ rose from the dead. He authenticated every claim he ever made.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
God. God. God. God. God. As our verses, the verses we read were proving. Testifying. If there was no, if there's no resurrection.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
If Christ did not rise from the dead. Then Christ was not God. If Christ did not rise from the dead.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
Christ was a liar. Are you prepared to say that? If Christ did not rise from the dead.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
He was a liar. For he predicted he would rise the third day. And he did. If not.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
He wasn't God. Then he was a liar. What blasphemy. What blasphemy to think. Christ deceived and told lies.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
Serious. Serious. If Christ did not rise from the grave. The Bible.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
Is untrue. Might as well throw it out. If he didn't rise from the dead.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
It's. The Bible's predictions are misleading. Its facts are inaccurate. Its assumptions are false.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
It's not what you think it is. If Christ did not rise from the grave. Verifying the truth of his claims.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
Verifying he was God. Verifying he paid for sin. Which leads to the third sin. If Christ did not rise from the grave.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
Verifying he was God. Verifying he was God. Verifying he was God. Verifying he was God. We have no gospel to preach. Verifying he was God. Verifying he was God. Verifying he was God. Our Bible has just said it of course. If Christ has not been raised.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
Then our preaching is in vain. If Christ did not rise from the grave. There is no basis for forgiveness.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
Forgiveness. You see you must grasp. Forgiveness of sin. Is not God. Deciding will overlook your sin.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
Forgiveness. Is much much more than that. God is holy. And he cannot say. We'll pretend it didn't happen. He cannot say.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
We'll pretend you didn't do that. God is holy. You did do that. You did sin. I sinned. Forgiveness is not pretending it didn't happen.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
Forgiveness is based on Christ atoning for our sin. Christ taking payment. Sorry.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
Christ giving his life to the Father. As a payment. For the sins of all. Who will believe upon him.

I was speaking to somebody who spent some years in Hinduism. A couple of weeks ago. A month ago or something. And she said it was while. While she was going to.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the

Worshipping in the Hindus. She became. She did not say it through of course. Through. Hinduism. But she said. I became convicted of sin. And then I realized.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
As I. Studied Hinduism. There's no system of forgiveness. I need to be forgiven. I've done wrong things.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the

If Christ did not rise from the dead. Satan. What's the strongest force in this world. Satan.

{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the

As it were. Publicly. He rose. As the savior. Of the world. And the head. Of the church. It's not a private thing.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the

We tend to think. Religion. Is a private thing. Between me. And God. Alone. Oh. Read the scripture. It's not what you find. We're to confess him.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
We're to confess the faith. We're to defend the faith. We're to proclaim the faith. We're to spread the faith. We're to spread the good news.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the

Of whom else can it be said. Of whom else can it be said. That his last words. Were not his dying words.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
Isn't that interesting. Christ's dying words. Were not his last words. Isn't that something. Think of that.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
Of whom else can it be said. His last words. Were not his dying words. What did he say.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
After he died. What was his last message. To his disciples. When they gathered together. After his resurrection.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
What was his last message. About the gospel. Go tell. Every creature. It's not a private event.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
It's not a private thing. It's public. The Christian church's job. Is to spread his gospel. Listen.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that

If that world. Out there. Do not. Believe. In Christ. That is on their head.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
But listen. If that world. Out there. Do not. Hear. About. Christ. That's on the church's head.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the

Because he said to us. Go. Tell. Every. Culture. This is not something.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
We keep quiet. This is not private. Between me and God. God. There's a public. Dimension to it. And our last word.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
Surely that we'll see here. Just now. Because. Christ. Rose. From the dead. There is hope. There is hope.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
There is no case. There is no situation. Hopeless. If you put Christ. Into it. Is there something. Trouble in you.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
Is there some worry you have. Is there some trauma. You get Christ. You put Christ. Into that situation. And there's hope.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
And I want to say something else. About hope. In the Bible. In the New Testament. Hope. Does not mean. What it means to us.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
In the Western world. In the 21st century. In the word hope. There's the idea. Of certainty. You can replace the word hope.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
In the New Testament. When you see it. Replace it with certain. The certainty. Of his return. He's coming back. He's coming back.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
Are you ready? Are you ready? Are you ready? It's absolutely. It's absolutely. It's absolutely. Certain.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
He's coming back. It's absolutely. Certain. That you. Will be. Forgiven. If you repent. And trust in him.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
That's not just. A mere. Well. Hope. It's a certainty. Because Christ. Rose from the dead. Doesn't matter. Who you are. Doesn't matter. What you've done.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
It doesn't matter. What condition. You're in. If you repent. And trust. Christ. It's certain. You'll be forgiven. It's absolutely.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that

Certain. That you. Will be in heaven. If you believe. And follow him. That's the good news. That's the hope.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
That is a certainty. If you trust in him. And follow him. And believe in him. What a wonderful. Glorious. Message.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the

The Christian messages. And especially. The message. And the truth. Of the resurrection. Of Christ. Jesus. I'll read the verses again.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
Now. If Christ. Is proclaimed. As raised. From the dead. How can some of you. Say there's no resurrection. Of the dead. But if there's no resurrection.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
Of the dead. Then not even Christ. Is raised. And. If. Christ. Has not. Been raised. Then our preaching.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
timestamp drops to plain text rather than a button that
silently does nothing. #}
Is in vain. And your faith. Is vain. But Christ. Did. Rise. From the dead. And may God. The Holy Spirit.
{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the

{# Without a player to seek there is nothing to click, so the
