"He Showed Himself Alive …” 1 Of 2

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 6, 2022

The resurrection of Christ is the most important topic of the Bible. It is not one of the most important, but THE MOST IMPORTANT topic of the Bible.

The bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is the crowning proof of Christianity.

That is: • If the resurrection DID NOT take place, then Christianity is a false religion. • ...read more
