Jesus makes it very clear here, he is the firstborn of the dead. Meaning he died for the wages of our sins and God the Father, has raised him from the dead to live and reign forevermore.
Because Jesus has conquered the grave, we can live forevermore through him. This is why the “Resurrection” is so important. If Christ has not been raised from the dead, then what hope would any of us have for the future? Because of the Resurrection we can have hope and confidence for eternity.
Paul goes on to see if Christ has not been Resurrected, then we are still not redeemed for our sins. Remember the wages of sin is death, so by Jesus overcoming death, he has overcome all of our sins and the grave. If Christ had not been Resurrected, then the crucifixion would have been pointless.
So as we move into “Easter” season, remember we can live because Jesus live forevermore!
