If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised.
You say there is no resurrection? Yet Christ has risen, an incontestable fact, proved by eyewitnesses and foretold in ancient prophecy. Deny the resurrection and you make the apostles false witnesses of God, make preaching vain, and overturn the principal evidence of Christianity itself.

Commenting on 1 Corinthians 15:12-19
Christ faced the same physical obstacles as any corpse: He was dead, buried, cold, stiff. If you hold that resurrection is impossible and absurd in general, you must hold it impossible for Him. Deny this and you deny Christianity itself and all your hopes in it.
AI summary
Head and body stand on the same ground: what cannot hold for the members cannot hold for Christ either. His resurrection and theirs are inseparably bound together. Deny one and you deny both.
