John 20
The Apostle Paul wrote "... if Jesus has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith." 1 Cor 15:14
BUT JESUS WAS RAISED FROM THE DEAD!!!
And because Jesus rose from death physically, we learn that God through Christ intends to reclaim and restore all that he made in creation and saw corrupted through the fall. Our eternity will be spent in a world much like the one enjoyed by our first parents in Eden, because the earth has been reclaimed and restored by God through Jesus' resurrection.
The full effects of Jesus' resurrection will be seen one day, following Jesus' return. The time between Jesus' resurrection and our resurrection is a lengthy season of love, grace, and mercy as news of the gospel goes forth, inviting sinners to repent of sin and enjoy the present and future salvation of Jesus Christ.... (Doctrine by Mark Driscoll and Gary Breshears)
There is no way anyone should remain neutral on the resurrection of Jesus. The claim is too large , too earth shaking and too life altering. The implications are huge and absolutely change everything. So you consider the significance of this truth and thank JESUS that not only did HE raise from the dead, HE caused you to do the same.
