Summary: Easter 2026 Message.
Scripture: 1 Peter 1:3-5
If Jesus Was Not Raised:
He must have been a sinner (died for his own sins)
Our sins would not be paid for (still guilty before God)
No victory over death (no promise of eternal life)
No relationship with God possible (no living hope)
1 Corinthians 15:17, “…your faith is useless …”
Because Jesus Was Raised:
Our sins can be forgiven
Death is conquered
We can be made new
Eternal life is possible
