Why Does the Resurrection Matter?

Blaise Pascal was a French philosopher who lived in the mid 17th century. He is often remembered for “Pascal’s Wager” in which he argues that we all BET OUR LIVES ON whether or not God exists. If God does exist, then there would be MAXIMAL loss for the one who denied Him. But if God does not exist there will be MINIMAL loss for the Christian. Therefore, Pascal argues…the Christian faith is a “good bet”.
