John 20:1-18 • The Truth of the Resurrection

depends on the truth and historicity of the Resurrection. It is the fundamental message of the Gospel and the key doctrine in the Christian faith (1 Co. 15:1-8); it is the proof that Jesus is the Christ (Messiah) and the Son of God (Acts 2:32-36; Rom. 1:4); it is the proof that what He did on the cross was completed and effective as an atonement for our sin. ................
