The resurrection is built upon the crucifixion... and you can't just skip the Crucifixion to get to the resurrection.<br /><br />But you are right - to say that the Crucifixion is "more" important is incorrect. And imprecise.Rev.

That's like asking "Which is more important? Christ's active obedience or His passive obedience?"<br /><br />...nonsense! Thank God for the completeness of His gracious work! It's "both/and". The same Paul that declares that he was determined to know nothing but Christ and Him crucified also states that if Christ is not raised your faith is in vain and <b>you are still in your sins.</b><br /><br />Christ's redemtive work does not end at the cross (as Paul clearly states). It even continues for us today, in the waters of baptism, in the Lord's Supper, and in the Word... and will only be completed on the Last Day.Mike Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09202275259518132834noreply@blogger.com
