Easter Weekend : All-Or-Nothing

Levi Lusko - Fresh Life Church

All-Or-Nothing

1 Corinthians 15:3-4

All of Christianity reduced to two sentences.

IF THERE IS NO GOD :

1. THERE IS NO HOPE

Paul tells us clearly in 1 Corinthians 15:12-19

12 But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13 If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. 14 And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. 15 More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead. But he did not raise him if in fact the dead are not raised. 16 For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either.17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.18 Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost. 19 If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied.

2. THERE IS NO MEANING

What you do, doesn't even matter

3. YOU AREN'T REALLY EVEN YOU

1 Corinthians 15:32 "And what value was there in fighting wild beasts--those people of Ephesus--if there will be no resurrection from the dead? And if there is no resurrection, "Let's feast and drink, for tomorrow we die!"

Leo Tolstoy "Is there any meaning in my life that the inevitable death awaiting me does not destroy?"

4. OUR DEEPEST DESIRES MAKE NO SENSE

Why do we think things are unfair if there is no God"

"A man does not call a line crooked unless he has some idea of a straight line." C.S. Lewis
