The power of the resurrection validates all the other facts of the gospel. Yes, Jesus was born of a virgin. Yes, he lived a sinless life. Yes, he died a substitutionary death. Yes, He was God. But what validates all of these truths is the fact that he rose from the dead. No wonder Paul was so enraptured with the power of the resurrection. We see the power of the Resurrection in Paul’s conversion. Here was Paul, on his own road to hell. Breathing threats and desiring to persecute all believers. Yet, the Risen Lord literally stopped Paul in his tracks and in an instant Paul was changed. He went from darkness to light. From hell-bound to heaven-bound.
