What If? Easter 2026

About this episode

This episode explores the implications of a world without the resurrection of Jesus and affirms the truth of Christianity that Christ is risen.

What if Easter never happened? What if Jesus died—but never rose again? In this powerful message from First Baptist Rocky Top, we explore the unthinkable question posed in —and why the answer changes everything. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 15, this episode walks through the devastating implications of a world without the resurrection: faith would be futile, sin would still enslave us, death would have the final word, and hope would be nothing more than an illusion. But the story doesn’t end there. With clarity and conviction, this message proclaims the truth that defines Christianity: Christ is risen. Because of that, sin is defeated, death is conquered, and eternal hope is secured.
