Life is full of either/or moments. Some of them are of little consequence. I will have either the chicken or the fish. Some of them matter more. I will accept the new job offer or keep my current job. One either/or moment is life-changing for every human being. Either Jesus is still dead, or Jesus rose from the dead. Jesus claimed he would rise from the dead. "The Son of Man must suffer many things...be killed and after three days rise again." (Mark 8:31) So if Jesus remains dead, he is both a failure and a fraud. If Christ has not been raised, we are still in our sin.
