Each of the four Gospels ends with an account of the Risen Christ. But where do you go with your questions about the Resurrection? Paul has you covered. Check out I Corinthians 15.
Paul begins by laying out the heart of the gospel, what is "of first importance" (vs. 3). In a nutshell, Paul reminds the Corinthians that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to many after that. This is what they believed, and it has the power to save them.
Next Paul turns his attention to various objections and questions that people have raised about the resurrection. Is it true? What does it mean? How does is work - what kind of body will we have? Paul meticulously argues the answers from the experience of Christ, making a comparison with Adam, and ending with the triumphant statement about Christ's victory over death.
Take heart! There is good news about death - Resurrection!
