The foundational truths of these Scriptures are what Christendom is based on…for if we don’t believe that Jesus died for our sins and then was raised victoriously three days later…it’s all a terrible sham. Think about it – if He’s not alive, then there’s no hope of eternal life for any of us. But the tomb is empty for He has risen…and with that we have hope! The blessed hope of forgiveness and life eternal with Him in heaven.
