Jesus told His disciples, on more than one recorded occasion, that He would be crucified, and raised from the dead in three days.
[Matt 16:20-21; 17:9, 22-23; 20:17-19; 26:31-32]
In his letters to the church, at Corinth, Paul wrote: “As in Adam all died, even so IN Christ shall all (who are dead, in trespasses and sins) be made alive.” For “If any man be IN Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new”
[1 Cor 15:22; Eph 2:1; 2 Cor 5:17]
Isaiah prophesied: “His soul (was made) an offering for our sin …and He bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.”
[Isa 53:10, 12(c)]
John, the Baptist, called Him: “The Lamb of God: which taketh away the sin of the world.”
After His resurrection, Jesus showed Himself alive; first to His disciples, then “of above five hundred brethren at once.”
[1 Cor 15:3-6]
Bottom line: “If Christ be not raised, our faith is vain; (and we) are yet in our sins.”
[1 Cor 15:17]
