What has Christ's Resurrection meant to you personally?

As we know, Easter approaches as an opportunity to remember the Resurrection of Christ and his overcoming the obstacles of death for all.

I love the passage in 1 Cor. 15 that reads:

12 Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:
14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.
15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.
16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.

It brings great comfort to me to know that Christ overcame death and resurrected and that I too can be resurrected at his coming through obedience and faith at his coming.




I know what it is, i was asking how this knowledge has personally affected you. Not just that he died but that he resurrected and overcame death.

I'll give you a brief rundown.

Jesus had to die on the cross to pay the price for each and every one of us. The death signified the sin died along with him.

The resurrection part on the third say was signified that God ACCEPTED Jesus's sacrifice for all of us. Jesus died on the cross, God showed that he accepted his sacrifice and was able to forgive sins and showed that by the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
