The resurrection is the summum bonum (greatest good) reality of the Christian faith. Without the resurrection Paul tells us that we should be pitied above all people, for if Christ is not raised from the dead, we are placing our faith in a myth and a false hope. "But now is Christ raised from the dead!" This the reality that separates Christianity from all other world religions and the reality that defines orthodoxy and cultism.
In this sermon today we will follow the Apostle Paul as he articulates the elements of the work of Christ by His life, death, resurrection and ascension. We will discover the reason Christ was able to rise from the dead and the basis on which we who believe in Him rise with Him and share in His eternal life.
