The resurrection of Jesus, as described in the NT of the Bible, is the foundation upon which the Christian faith is built. So you might say that Easter is a kindof a big deal for all Christians around the world!
We don’t even need to assume that the NT is inspired by God or even trustworthy. While I do believe these things, this post (notes from the sermon I preached on Easter Sunday April 21 2019, VIDEO HERE) is going to focus on three truths that even critical scholars admit. In other words, these three truths are so strong that they are accepted by serious historians, those who believe and accept the historicity of the Bible, and those who don’t.
