The word vindicate means to show or prove to be right, reasonable, or justified. It has the idea of substantiating, or demonstrating, that something is true. The resurrection of Jesus Christ vindicates everything that Jesus said. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is such a grand and great miracle that it shows, demonstrates, and proves that Jesus’ Word is true and that He will keep His promises. Because of this, the resurrection of Jesus Christ is the cornerstone of the Christian faith. The resurrection shows that Jesus is the One, True and Only God, and that you have eternal salvation by believing in His Name.

The Theology of the Resurrection is that of vindication: It proves, shows, and demonstrates that
• Jesus truly is the Son of God, equal to the father
• Jesus is the long-awaited Messiah, the fulfillment of all the OT promises and prophecies, the Savior of the world
• Jesus has the power to give you eternal life; you will survive death and escape the final judgment
• and that He has sent the Holy Spirit to you who has given you faith and empowers you to live a holy life.

The resurrection of Jesus Christ confirms – it vindicates — that Jesus is true and His Word and promises are trustworthy! Amen!
