Jesus
The Resurrection
The bodily rising of Jesus from the dead on the third day.
The resurrection is presented as a public event with witnesses, not a private experience. Paul treats it as falsifiable: if it did not happen, Christian faith is empty.
It grounds the Christian hope of bodily resurrection and a renewed creation rather than disembodied escape.
Key verses
And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins.
