To understand the importance of the Resurrection and why it is worth following the proofs, there must first be an acknowledgment of our fallen condition, needing divine pardon, and a recognition of our immortality. If Christ is not risen, our preaching, first, is vain. Our faith and hope of forgiveness and resurrection are also vain. No “logical explanation” can explain away the transformation of Paul or the eyewitnesses, the exact timing and details of fulfilled prophecy, or the growth of the church.
