Why the Resurrection Changes Everything - Matthew S7E4

Why the Resurrection Changes Everything - Matthew S7E4

October 19, 2026 · 1 hr 3 min

Why does the resurrection of Jesus matter, and what does the empty tomb mean for our faith today?

In this episode of Deepen, Pastor Joby Martin, Pastor Jonathan Vinke, and Pastor Matt explore Matthew 28 and the historical, spiritual, and eternal significance of Jesus' resurrection.

From the evidence surrounding the empty tomb to the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy, we unpack why the resurrection is the foundation of the Christian faith. Through the eyewitness accounts, the transformation of the early church, and the promises fulfilled through Christ, we are reminded that the gospel is not simply about Jesus' death, but His victory over sin and death.

We also discuss the difference between believing that Jesus rose from the dead and placing our faith in Him, the importance of living with both reverence and joy, and what it means to follow a risen Savior.

Because Jesus is alive, we can trust His promises, walk in freedom, and live with the hope of eternal life.
