A Negative Look
If Christ is not raised, then our faith is without effect.
If Christ did not raise, then this new age in which sins are left behind has not after all been inaugurated.
The resurrection is more than just an amazing act of the divine.
The resurrection marks the invasion ofChrist upon this present evil age.
The age to come has arrived and with it, restoration, return, covenant renewal, and forgiveness has been made possible.
If Christ has not raised then the preaching of the apostles is false witness and thus they are under the judgment of God.
If Christ has not been raised, then we are still in our sins and there is no hope.
We are still objects of wrath and our hope lies in futile appeasement instead of reconciled relationship.
If Christ has not raised, then we are just lying to ourselves and our sacrifices in this life are for nothing.
Our life should be one of pity for our delusion is leading our actions.
A Positive View
Just as death came through the inheritance of the curse from Adam, life comes through the inheritance of the resurrection of Christ.
Paul describes the resurrection of Christ as the firstfruits, the part of the harvest given in faith to the Lord in thanksgiving for the rest of the harvest.
The first fruits given in trust that there is more harvest yet to come.
Christ can not be the first fruits if He alone rises.
Christ is the ruler of the age that is to come, the age of the kingdom of Heaven.
This age was proclaimed at Christ’s arrival and its dominion rooted in His defeat of death.
All other authorities are competing against His dominion, but all of them will fall away.
Jesus is far more than just a good teacher or the idealic man, Jesus is the authority by which the redemption of man can actually occur.
Exhortation
Baptism for the dead may have been an early practice in the church in Corinth.
Paul is emphasizing the place of the resurrection in how we live our everyday lives.
Our comings and goings are impacted by the truth of the resurrection.
We do not proclaim a false gospel that holds no power, but rather we proclaim a living gospel rooted in a living Savior.
