Some modern theologians want to see many of the miracles in the Bible as metaphors, not as realities, they even see the resurrection as a metaphor alike and therefore cannot see the power found in it.
To discuss resurrection, we must first address Christ’s personhood. He rose in great power and glory on the third day, leaving an empty tomb. Christ’s resurrection instills hope in the church for our resurrection on the last day.
The great hope of the church of Christ is the resurrection, that this mortal body will be clothed with immortality:
Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
1 Corinthians 15:51-52
Visualize this promise, for it’s not metaphorical but a certain reality. On that glorious day, God will resurrect believers from all corners, transforming mortal into immortal, corruptible into incorruptible.
Our belief in the resurrection is fundamental, for without it, the Gospel loses its essence. Yet, Christ’s resurrection ensures our eternal hope, assuring us of our resurrection alongside Him.
