If Jesus did not rise from the dead after promising many times that He would do so (Matthew 12:40; 16:21; 17:9, 23, 20:19; 26:32), He should be pitied or scorned, not believed and obeyed (cf. 1 Corinthians 15:16-19).
Why Did Jesus rise from the tomb?
Jesus rose from the dead to transform us, so that we can live out our baptism by dying and rising with Christ (Rom 6:4).
