The Resurrection of the Dead "But tell me this—since we preach that Christ rose from the dead, why are some of you saying there will be no resurrection of the dead? For if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised either. And if Christ has not been raised, then all our preaching is useless, and your faith is useless. And we apostles would all be lying about God—for we have said that God raised Christ from the grave.

We did skip some verses and that is a good oppprtunity to read those on our own quiet time with the Lord. As we read though the passage, even the people who were with Jesus did not believe that He rose from the grave during that first Resurrection Sun

Israel Early First Century Scriptures record and tell us that most of the people in the Promised Land saw Jesus walked and talked and perform miracles but only a few really listened, believed and followed Him. On Sunday after Jesus was executed, some of the women followers of Jesus went to his tomb and something astonishing was recorded to have happened. Let us read about this from the writings of Luke the physician. From Luke 24 (Contemporary English) Jesus Is Alive The Empty Tomb Very early on Sunday morning the women went to the tomb, carrying the spices that they had prepared.  When they found the stone rolled away from the entrance,  they went in. But they did not find the body of the Lord   Jesus,  and they did not know what to think. Suddenly two men in shining white clothes stood beside them.  The women were afraid and bowed to the ground.  But the men said,  “Why are you looking in the place of the dead for someone who is alive?  Jesus isn’t her
