From the Pulpit...

The resurrection is necessarily true because our sin-wracked, frail bodies have to be transformed in order to be outfitted for the heavenly kingdom. Mortality has to be converted to immortality, and corruption to incorruption, for us to live with God forever. After that is done, death is conquered. So because Christ was raised, and He was seen by so many eyewitnesses, and because the resurrection is key to the whole Christian system, and because it will give us new bodies, and because we are certain of these things, we can serve God confidently without regressing back to such basics like “is this even true?”
