Let us rejoice that Christ has risen; let us celebrate that resurrection that allows us to have the assurance of an eternal home at his side.

For if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised either. 14 And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is also in vain. 15 And we are found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ; whom he did not raise, if indeed the dead do not rise. 16 For if the dead do not rise, then Christ has not been raised either. 17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is in vain; you are still in your sins. 18 Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are to be pitied more than all men.
20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead, The firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep has become. 21 For since death came through man, the resurrection of the dead also comes through man. 22 For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. 23 But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; then those who belong to Christ at his coming.

1 Corinthians 15:13-23

Many people view this Easter Sunday or Resurrection Sunday as a religious day where it's simply about putting on your best clothes and attending church. But it's not just about that or celebrating the empty tomb and going on with life as if nothing had happened. I understand that, since we didn't witness his resurrection, imagining that morning with the tomb empty is a bit difficult. We know the story very well, but perhaps we don't fully understand the magnitude of what happened at that moment.

That's why the apostle Paul gives us a glimpse of the importance of the resurrection and describes what would have happened if it hadn't been fulfilled with the resurrection of Jesus Christ. All our celebrations would be a big lie, and our faith would be truly useless because we would continue to bear the guilt of sin as in the beginning, without hope and without salvation, much less eternal life.

whom God set forth as a propitiation in his blood through faith, to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had passed over the sins that were previously committed,

Romans 3:25

That's why when we talk about Easter, when we talk about the resurrection, we must understand beyond the facts: Jesus Christ died in our place to satisfy God's demand, that atonement for sin. And that resurrection shows us God's approval of Jesus, who, through that sacrifice, took away the sin of the world. Thanks to that victory over death, we too will be resurrected and have that inheritance in heaven. This hope allows us to rejoice and delight in the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
