What if Jesus Never Rose From the Dead?

Apr 5, 2026    Seth Hankee

1 Corinthians 15:12–20 reminds us that everything in the Christian faith rests on one truth: Jesus rose from the dead. If He didn’t, then our faith is worthless, we are still in our sins, and we have no real hope—leaving us to be pitied above all people.

As Christians, we build our lives on this story. Without the resurrection, nothing in this life truly matters, and the brokenness around us has no answer. Yet that same brokenness points to the reality that we were made for eternity.

But Christ has been raised. Because He kept His promise to rise, we can trust all His promises—your sin is forgiven, death is defeated, everything changes, and even your suffering is not wasted.
