Why the Resurrection is Important!

• If Christ did not rise from the dead this is all
  a big waste of time!
• Jesus has fulfilled the OT scriptures
• Jesus has ended the Old Covenant between God and
  his People and established a New and everlasting
  Covenant
• Truly shows Jesus as the Son of God.
• Death liberates form sin. Resurrection opens
  way to new life.
• Anagogical aspect We shall resurrect too!!!
• "Christ has been raised from the dead, the first
  fruits of those who have fallen asleep. . . For
  as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all
  be made alive.
• 1 Corinthians 1520-22
