Corinthians 15:21-22 - "For since death came through a man, the
resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. 22 For as in Adam all
die, so in Christ all will be made alive."
Many people think the victory over death and sin was won on the day of Christ's resurrection from the day. This is not true. The victory was one on the day of His death. The resurrection was the proof of who He is, and proof of His victory, but it was not on that day he was victorious. The victory was won on the cross. Jesus
John 19:28 - " Later, knowing that everything had now been finished, and so that Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.”
John 19:30 - "When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit."
The complete work of Christ was not completed on the day of His resurrection, but on the day of His death. This is why it is called Good Friday.
Matthew 27:51-53 - "At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. They came out of the tombs after Jesus’ resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared to many people."
People were brought back from the dead before Jesus resurrection, but didn't come out of the tombs, and show themselves until Jesus was resurrected.
If Christ had not risen, we would not have any hope of being resurrected, but our resurrection was won on the cross. Our victory was in His death.
