Would this be happening if Jesus had not been raised from the dead? In fact, we would probably never have heard of him had he not been resurrected.
وَلَوْ أَنَّ يَسُوعَ لَمْ يُقَمْ مِنَ ٱلْمَوْتِ ،‏ لَمَا كَانَ هٰذَا ٱلنُّمُوُّ مُمْكِنًا وَلَمَا كُنَّا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْجَحِ قَدْ سَمِعْنَا بِٱلْمَسِيحِ .‏
