1 Corinthians 15:12-14
12 Now if Christ is preached that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen. 14 And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty.

The resurrection is the crux of the cross’ message. Christ not only died by dying as a curse for us on a tree as it is written, but came back up bodily from the grave. No true Christ follower can deny this, for without Jesus coming back to life, we cannot either. If Christ is not risen as we remember on Easter or Resurrection Sunday, then all we preach as good news is as empty as our faith in Him and the gospel.
