Resurrection Sunday

The greatest evidence for us Christian is the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
We believe everything about Jesus Christ because Jesus was risen from the dead.
It's God's approval that salvation genuine (for those who believe in Him will have eternal life).

1 Corinthians 15:16-19
16 For if the dead do not rise, then Christ is not risen. 17 And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins! 18 Then also those who have [a]fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable.

If there is a way to destroy Christianity then you have to prove that the resurrection of Jesus Christ didn't happen.

And there have been attempts disproving the Resurrection.
To prove that Jesus really died and wasn't risen from the dead, that his bones are still in his tomb.

One is from the first resurrection Sunday,

Matthew 28:11-15
11 Now while they were going, behold, some of the guard came into the city and reported to the chief priests all the things that had happened. 12 When they had assembled with the elders and consulted together, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers, 13 saying, “Tell them, ‘His disciples came at night and stole Him away while we slept.’ 14 And if this comes to the governor’s ears, we will appease him and make you secure.” 15 So they took the money and did as they were instructed; and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.

Recently, the Director of the famous movies Titanic and Avatar, James Cameron, He claimed to have found the bones of Jesus Christ, it maybe the greatest discovery but an fatal blow to the Christians.

The bones were actually discovered by a construction worker from a tomb with the inscription "Jesua, son of Joseoph, Mary, Matthew, Jofa and Judah, son of Jesua".

However, the archaeologists who uncovered the tomb found no connection to Jesus other than the name similarities.
But James Cameron's team insisted that these was different and used DNA evidence and Biblical studies to prove that the tomb belongs to Jesus and his family.

But after careful investigation of James Cameron claims it was proven to be false.

All of these claims are false, not true. Because the reality and what the bible says, Jesus Christ was risen from the dead and He is in heaven and in the hearts of the believers
and He will come back for His bride (the church, the believers) and judge the living and the dead.

Why is it significant or importance to Christians?

It's simply mean that our christian faith is not futile, that we're no longer in sins because we're washed by the Jesus blood (forgiven)

And we have eternal life in Him.
And we can continue to live for his glory and continue to spread His salvation.
