How would you respond to someone who claims to love big, juicy hamburgers if they ordered one without meat? At the very least, you would question their love for burgers because without the meat you no longer have one. The resurrection to Christianity is the meat to the burger—you take it away and you lose Christianity. This is Paul’s point in 1 Corinthians 15:17 when he says,
17 If Christ has not been raised, your
faith is futile and you are still in your sins.
