This month’s Synchroblog asks a tough question: What if Jesus did not rise from the dead?
I believe the resurrection did, in fact, occur. I believe Jesus truly did rise physically from the grave on the third day after He was crucified and buried. But the question before us is, “What if Jesus did not rise from the dead?”
There are a thousand possible answers to such a question, but let’s just face the music and jump to the hardest and most troublesome answer of all: If Jesus did not rise from the dead, probably most of Christianity is a lie. We could probably hold on to the idea of God, and some of the historical events in the Bible, but beyond that, most of it would probably not be true.
I mean, if the resurrection of Jesus did not happen, then most of the Bible is probably not true because most of the Bible is centered on the idea of the resurrection.
If the resurrection did not happen, the truthfulness of the Bible itself should be doubted.
What does Jesus think about doubt?
What are the most beautiful words in the Gospels?
Maybe this is a pointless question, but why did Jesus wait three days to rise from the dead?
