Scripture reveals that Jesus' resurrection is the hinge of history—the defeat of death itself and the promise that all who believe will rise as he did.
Scripture on Resurection
1 Corinthians 15:3-4
New Testament
"For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures."
Romans 6:9
New Testament
"We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over him."
John 11:25-26
New Testament
"Jesus said to her, 'I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?'"
1 Thessalonians 4:14
New Testament
"For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him."
Job 19:25-26
Old Testament
"I know that my Redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand on the earth. And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God."
The Bottom Line
Resurrection isn't just what happened to Jesus—it's God's final word on death, and it's coming for everyone who trusts Him.

Prayer
Jesus invites us to come boldly before the Father with our deepest questions, especially about death and what lies beyond (Hebrews 4:16).
Father, the resurrection of Jesus is almost too large to grasp—that death itself was defeated, that the grave couldn't hold Him. I confess I sometimes live like resurrection is just a doctrine instead of a reality that rewrites everything. I'm afraid of death, and I doubt whether I really believe that rising with Christ is my future too. Strengthen my faith in the resurrection. Help me live today like someone who knows death has lost its sting. Thank you that through Christ's rising, my rising is secured. In Jesus' name, Amen.
