Nobody expected no body. Christianity didn’t begin in Genesis. Christianity didn’t begin because somebody read something. It began because some people saw something. Christianity began on the morning that Jesus rose from the dead. The uniqueness of Christianity is that it’s rooted in history ~ in an event. The event of the resurrection was the beginning of Christianity.
Christianity doesn’t hang in the balance of whether 66 different books can be proven to be true. Christianity hangs on a single event. The apostle Paul summed up the significance of this fact when he declared, “And if Jesus hasn’t been raised from the dead, then all Christian preaching is useless and so is all Christian faith.”
It all rises and falls on the death and resurrection of Jesus. Period. If He rose from the dead ~ GAME ON…! And if He didn’t ~ then it’s all a waste of time.
