Do You Think Christianity Would Exist If Jesus Had Not Risen from the Dead?

Do you think Christianity would exist if Jesus had not risen from the dead?

Christianity would have never been introduced to us if it wasn't for the death of Jesus, the man who all Christians believe that had sacrificed his life for the peace and joy of others. Crucifixion and resurrection are the foundations of Christianity; Jesus showed all Christians that these two events are what allow all humans to go to Heaven. In this essay we will be examining how crucifixion and resurrection led to the final proof of Jesus being the Messiah and about Jesus being the redeemer.

It all started with the Jewish prophets who were talking about the coming of a messiah. As Jesus had been travelling around the country and healing the sick, the prophets took this as one of the fulfilling prophecies. As well as being born in Bethlehem and riding into Jerusalem on a donkey, the Jewish prophets also took this into account as it was found in the Hebrew Bible how the coming messiah would be. All Jesus wanted to do was bring upon peace and not to be a mighty warrior. After the Jewish prophets found out Jesus wasn't going to fight the Romans they crucified him on a cross. This eventually made the Jews believe that Jesus could not be the messiah as he didn't do what they expected. Although the Romans wanted peace amongst the country, they didn't realises what Jesus was doing for them was the right thing.

The father loves his creations and therefore wants all humans to go to Heaven, so to accomplish this Jesus died on the cross, taking with him all of humankind's sin. As all humans have original sin and are sinners they would end up going to Hell anyway but as Jesus was the redeemer he redeemed people from their original sins so no more humans were sinners and so they all went to Heaven. As Jesus had taken punishment for their sins original sin didn't exist which meant no humans would go to Hell. To prove to everyone especially the Jews, Jesus rose from the dead coming back in human form. He was incarnated by God and so by doing this it showed everyone that he was the messiah.

To also prove what Christians believe the most, by coming back in human form Jesus also showed to people that there is life after death. This now shows all Christians it's possible to live another life after dying. If Jesus had not sacrificed his life no one would believe their Christian teaching.
