The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent, because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed; and of this he has given assurance to all by raising him from the dead.
The blessed Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ gives unquestionable assurance that He is indeed the Judge of all the world. Not only has God raised us to life in Him, but the Father has declared to all the world that Jesus of Nazareth is both Lord and Christ.
He is the focal point of all of history. Everything turns on Him. It is from Him, for Him, and to Him. His death and Resurrection affect everything--love, family, science, art, war, peace...every human endeavor rests upon Him as risen Lord. Apart from Him, there is no meaning. If He be not raised from the dead, then we are to be pitied above all men.
But He is. He is! He was dead, and now He will never die again. His body was laid in a tomb, but it has come out. The dead live! Alleluia!
