Easter is among the most exceptional events for most Christian believers, representing the resurrection of Jesus and how it transformed the world. The passage discusses four essential Bible passages related to Easter: 1) John 2:19 about Jesus foretelling his own resurrection; 2) 1 Corinthians 15:16-20 about how the Christian faith depends on the resurrection; 3) Luke 24:1-3 about the empty tomb being the first sign of resurrection; and 4) Luke 24:23 about how those who discovered the empty tomb spread the word that Jesus was alive. Christians are encouraged to reflect on these Bible passages at Easter to remember the significance of Jesus' resurrection.
When we examine the establishment, examples and correction given concerning the Lord’s Supper we understand that our Lord Jesus desires that Christians must partake of the Lord’s supper together on the first day of the week.

The quote for this option resonated with me quite a bit. It opened my eyes reading this option as in my opinion, believing in the resurrection of Jesus Christ is a fundamental belief of all of Christianity. I do not think that someone can claim to be a Christian and yet deny that Christ was resurrected on the third day after his crucifixion. In the Bible this is illustrated quite clearly: "if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved" (Romans 10:9) Obviously scripture makes this pretty cut and dry, but something that really stuck out to me was not from the Bible, but rather our assigned reading this week. From the Resurrection and Ascension section, "there must be some historical truth in the claims of Jesus’ Resurrection, for no one trying to build a case would have rested it on the testimony of women, who had little status in a patriarchal society.” (Fisher, pg. 320) this opened my eyes a bit because I never thought of it in this sense. Of course women did not have the equal social and economic status back then as they do today in the majority of the world, so the fact that the two Marys were the first people to witness Jesus after death really lends credit to the truthfulness of the Bible. Further, I would argue that the most fundamental belief of Christianity is that Christ died to forgive the sins of all of humanity, and resurrected to rule alongside his Father in Heaven. The belief in Christ's resurrection is necessary in order to subscribe to the entire narrative of Christ being the savior and messiah of all of humanity. Without Christ's resurrection he simply becomes a martyr, or perhaps a false prophet to many people. It is his "otherworldly" resurrection that signifies his status as the savior of mankind.

Hello classmates and professor,
This week I chose option A which states "the whole Christian Church stands or falls based upon the historical resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead." This seems to be a great debate, and I thought it'd be interesting to research. After review it seems the loyal believers of the resurrection have a few facts that they abide by. Below are those facts.
1. The Empty Tomb
2. The Burial
3. The Guard
4. The Disciples
5. The post resurrection appearance
6. The enemies of Christ gave no refutation of the resurrection
To the believers these are the undeniable facts that they go by to support that the resurrection took place. Now i will lay out the facts that the doubters go by.
1. There is no external historical confirmation of the New Testament stories
2. The New Testament stories are internally contradictory.
3. There are natural explanations for the origins of the Jesus legend
4. T.
Bible Alive Jesus Christ 003: "The Starting Point for Christology"BibleAlive
We explore the facts which are “rock bottom” which lead us beyond history into Christology proper, since they raise the meaning and significance of the “Jesus event”: 1) Jesus’ death on the cross and 2) the Easter kerygma. Learn about the origins of the Four Gospels. See the extra-biblical documents that record the execution of Jesus. Learn the pre-Pauline formula of 1 Corinthians 15:3b-5 and its ramifications. Read the “empty-tomb” narratives and discover their meaning.
Christians and Muslims both believe in Jesus, love him,
and honor him. They are, however, divided over the
question of his divinity. Fortunately, this difference can be
resolved if we refer the question to both the Bible and the
Qur'an, because, both the Bible and the Qur'an teach that
Jesus is not God.

Four Important Easter Bible Readings and Verses To Check
1. Easter is among the most exceptional events for most
Christian believers. Easter represents the resurrection of
Jesus and just how this one occasion transformed the
world. Checking the Bible readings and passages around
Easter will help the Christian to attach all over again with
this true story and don't forget the main points in the
events. What exactly are among the best Bible passages to
check at Easter time. What follows is a list of four very
good Bible readings for Easter.
4. John 2:19 Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and
in three days I will raise it up."
5. It is essential to be aware that the Jesus foretold His very
own resurrection. Look at the above verse and know that
Jesus had not been surprised at what went down. It was
the approach of God to clean away your sins.
8. For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been
raised. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile
and you are still in your sins. Then those also who have
fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If in this life only we
have hoped in Christ, we are of all people most to be
pitied. But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead,
the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep.
9. This specific bible verses tells us that the Christian faith is
dependent upon the resurrection of Jesus. Without it
there would be absolutely no Christian faith. Go through
this impressive Easter Bible verse to not forget there was
an important cause for this to take place.
11. Luke 24:1-3 But on the first day of the week, at early
dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had
prepared. And they found the stone rolled away from the
tomb, but when they went in they did not find the body of
the Lord Jesus.
12. The empty tomb was the very first sign to people
remaining that there was more to this story. Go through
this bible verses regarding the empty tomb and keep in
mind that Jesus truly did rise through the dead.
14. Luke 24:23 and when they did not find his body, they came
back saying that they had even seen a vision of angels,
who said that he was alive.
15. Those who discovered the tomb empty didn't simply save
this to themselves. They took this and pass on this around
by informing other folks what they knew. It is also
essential that we don't neglect to inform other folks the
reason for the hope which we have.
