What does the Bible say about the resurrection of Jesus?

Answered in 194 sources

The Bible affirms that Jesus rose from the dead, as indicated by the angels in Luke 24:5-6, asking, 'Why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen.'

The resurrection of Jesus is a cornerstone of Christian faith, as it affirms His victory over sin and death. In Luke 24:5-6, the angels proclaim to the bewildered women at the tomb that Jesus has risen, highlighting that His resurrection was not just an event, but the fulfillment of His own prophetic words. Throughout the New Testament, the resurrection is emphasized as a demonstration of Christ's divine authority, underscoring the promise of eternal life for believers. As Paul reminds us in 1 Corinthians 15:14, 'And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.' This underscores the importance of the resurrection in the doctrinal framework of Christianity.
