What does the Bible say about the resurrection of Jesus Christ?

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is a central tenet of Christian theology, affirmed in Mark 16:3-7, where the women discover the empty tomb and receive the message from the angel that Jesus has risen. His resurrection serves as a validation of His sacrificial death on the cross, demonstrating God's acceptance of His sacrifice for sin (Romans 4:25). It underscores that Christ is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, fulfilling the prophecies regarding the Messiah. Without this event, as Paul argues in 1 Corinthians 15:14, our faith would be in vain, making the resurrection not just an event but the linchpin of Christian hope and assurance.
