The Necessary of the Resurrection
(What Must Be)
The Resurrection shows the evidence of the truth of his own words which he had foretold so plainly that his truthfulness was earnestly at stake, unless he rose.
For all through his life, Christ was petitioning to God; and as Paul said afterward, "It would have proved God to be deceitful and truthless if Christ has not been raised."
It was foretold to the truth of the Old Testament Scriptures.
