His Resurrection

Acts 26:8 KJV
Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead?

Paul's address seems to hinge on this subject of this text and it is suddenly cut short when he brings this subject to its head in verse 23.

Neither Agrippa nor Festus seemed to be too much perturbed even by Paul's words in verse 20; that the Gentiles, "…should repent and turn to God and do works meet for repentance." But Festus could no longer contain himself when Paul said,
Acts 26:23 KJV
That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.

Why does the resurrection of Jesus Christ cause such a stir? It is precisely because this is the one act that sets Christ apart from all other faiths.
His resurrection sets him apart from other would be Saviours whose bodies are still in the grave
His Resurrection sets Him apart from the unbelievers who deny life after death is possible
His resurrection sets Him apart from the authorities of this world, whose authority is given them by God but is so often used by them in ways that are contrary to God

Probably the single most challenging thing a man must deal with when confronted with the resurrection of Jesus Christ is that men instinctively know they are beholding to Him. They must deny Christ's resurrection or they must admit that they will give an account to Him one day for the deeds done in their bodies.

And the Bible says that the only way we can have peace with God on that day of accounting is to humble ourselves before the Lord; ask Him to forgive us, and commit the rest of our lives to live and serve Him.
