And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; you are yet in your sins.
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 15:17 Go To 1 Corinthians 15
Cyril of Jerusalem
AD 386
If the cross is an illusion, the resurrection is an illusion also, and “if Christ has not risen, we are still in our sins.” If the cross is an illusion, the ascension is also an illusion, and everything, finally, becomes unsubstantial.
