Resurrection of Christ
On the third day the tomb was empty — the hinge on which the whole Christian faith turns
The Resurrection of Christ is the conviction that Jesus was raised bodily from the dead on the third day, vindicating his identity and his saving work. The Gospels narrate the empty tomb and his appearances, and Paul in 1 Corinthians 15 treats it as the foundation of faith, saying that without it preaching is empty. Christians across traditions hold this as central and non-negotiable to the gospel.
