1 Corinthians 15:1 to 11 – What if?

What if there was no death at Easter?
Our sins could not be forgiven.

What if Jesus had not been buried.
We would not have known that he was dead

What if he did not rise from the dead?
Our faith would be futile. We would not know if Jesus really was the Son of God and Saviour.

What if there were no eye witnesses?
There would be so many doubts

But what if you really believed Jesus died, was buried, rose again, and was seen? What difference would it make?
