What if Christ had not died?

Welcome to Midway Church of Christ

What’s Your Question? for May 5, 2010

One hundred people were asked: would it make any difference in your life if Jesus had not died? Forty-five didn’t think it would make any difference. Twenty-five said it would, but were not sure what it would be. Ten said they did not know, and twenty said it would make a difference in how they live. Three thousand Jews, on Pentecost, were convicted of sin and obeyed Christ, because they believed in His death and resurrection (Acts 2:36-41). It is the preaching of the cross, not providing entertainment, that draws people to Christ (1 Cor. 2:1-5). Paul reminded the Corinthians that the gospel, by which they were saved, is based upon the death and resurrection of Jesus (1 Cor. 15:1-8). Is this the foundation of your hope, and does it make a difference in the way you live?
