Why Is The Resurrection Of Jesus Important?Written by Randall McClure Sr.
The Historical Resurrection Of Jesus. Jesus' resurrection is many times thought of in abstract terms or just treated as a form of a holiday with celebration of Easter each year. In reality it is most important historical event that has ever occurred in world. This unique historical event consisted of Jesus, in human form, dying on cross and then three days later being resurrected from dead to live forever. As Jesus was in human form, His resurrection proved that man can have complete victory over death and live forever in their glorified body. Other people were resurrected from dead, but later died at end of their natural life. Jesus only died once and then was resurrected forever (Romans 6:9).Faith In The Jesus' Resurrection. A key part of Christian faith is belief in actual resurrection of Jesus. A resurrection where Jesus was in human form and he was brought back from death to live forever. Jesus' resurrection proves to us in no certain terms that God has complete power over death. If you believe that Jesus' resurrection actually occurred, then it follows that you believe that all humans can have victory over death. If you believe in Jesus, you can have internal life (John 11:25). Christians with assurance can place their faith and hope in God above all else because of Jesus' resurrection (1Peter 1:21).
