Why is Jesus’ death and Resurrection the most important message for us?

Because it deals with our most important issue?

You have a desire called sin - (ESV) 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God

You have a desire called sin

It overwhelms us

It separates us from God

It overwhelms us at times - - There is no soundness in my flesh because of Your indignation; There is no health in my bones because of my sin.

For my iniquities are gone over my head; As a heavy burden they weigh too much for me

Preach it to LOST - There is nothing more needed in your unsaved friends and love ones lives then salvation

1 cor 15-3-7

Notice a few things

He backs it up with eyewitness accounts (V.5-8) Cephas /Peter - The twelve - 500 hunted people at one time - James his half brother - He wants them to know that He’s not just speaking about a fiery tail but this is a moment in history when everything changed

Remember…Jesus death was public…And Jesus’ resurrection was public

Not like other religions that base their entire system of belief upon some secret encounter with an angel, a secret revelation in a cave, an esoteric knowledge…What Jesus did…his ministry, his death, his resurrection…public…and it was the public who went and shared the news…even at the cost of losing their lives
