What Jesus's Resurrection Means to Me

How would your life be different if Jesus was not risen from the dead? (Serendipity Bible 10th Anniversary Edition, page 1426).

The death and resurrection of Jesus confirms for me the vibrant existence of life eternal.  Jesus said that whoever believes in him has eternal life.  A living faith hinges on a belief in eternity--the very long term.  Jesus's resurrection confirms that we can affirm life in the present and concurrently in the indeterminate future.  Because of this, life not death is triumphant.  The principles of the universe are eternal and the spiritual life is subsumed within them. For me as a Christian, belief in Jesus's resurrection puts a little steel in my backbone to stand fast without fear or anxiety when confronted with the short-term vicissitudes of life.  In short, the resurrection of Jesus obviates oblivion and the meaninglessness that would inevitably entail.
