“If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied.”
(1Corinthians 15:19 ESV)

Some questions for the Church, myself included.

If Jesus had not lived, died and been resurrected, does the sermon, teaching and song still hold together? Would the small group you lead still be meaningful? If the person and work of Jesus is not the main theme what do we have? If Christ is not raised does the whole thing we are doing fall flat? And If it holds together without Christ is that acceptable? We have built on something other than Jesus and it will not stand nor should it. Paul says that if Christianity is not true his whole life is a waste. Can we say that about what we are doing? This is how we know if something is Christ centered, can it exist without Him? If it can, we should think hard about what we are doing.
