This summer, the LCMS convention will convene under the theme “Christ Is Risen Indeed,” based on 1 Corinthians 15:20–22. In July, the Easter season will be long past. Why the focus on Christ’s resurrection? Why, exactly, is the resurrection so important for Christians?

“If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins.”

That’s one of the most jarring verses in the Bible. The next two aren’t any better: “[If Christ has not been raised,] then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied” (1 Cor. 15:17–19).

Multiple recent surveys have indicated that approximately 25% of self-identified Christians deny the resurrection of Jesus, considering it unnecessary for the Christian faith. St. Paul couldn’t disagree more.

Each triennium, the Synod convention launches a new National Offering in support of a specific project over the next three years. The 2026 National Offering, “Christ Is Risen! Tell the Next Generation,” will establish a fund for offering matching grants to support local efforts to share the Gospel with families, young adults, youth and children.
