Hear Bishop Samano expand on The resurrection of Jesus Christ is important for many reasons. First, it testifies to the immense power of God himself. To believe in the resurrection is to believe in God. If God exists, and if He created the universe and has power over it, then He has the power to raise the dead. If He does not have such power, He is not a God worthy of our faith and worship. Only He, who created life, can rise after death.
