EssentialResurrection
If preached Christ is raised from the dead,
Then there is a resurrection;
And not lying in a death bed,
With a biblical connection.
If was not preaching is in vain,
So is your faith if not risen;
Eternal life could not attain,
And our grave as a prison.
We would then misrepresent God,
Because what was then testified;
And be considered as a fraud,
The reason Christ was crucified.
For if the dead are risen not,
Then neither would have Jesus Christ;
No salvation that you had sought,
Eternal life to be enticed.
Your faith would then be futile,
And you still would be in your sin;
Living a shameful lifestyle,
With being corrupted within.
Then those who have fallen asleep,
As in Christ would also perish;
Death would then be like slaughtered sheep,
No longer a faith to cherish.
But in Jesus we have the hope,
Life after death is possible;
And that we are able to cope,
When life does seem miserable.
