What happens if someone cannot accept that Jesus was raised from the dead?

Les explains that he has often had people in his class say their Sunday school teacher, pastor, or friend can believe Christ died on a Roman cross but cannot quite accept that He was raised from the dead. Les responds that if we cannot accept the fact that He was raised from the dead, we have nothing and are totally lost. The resurrection is the very basis of His power. In the context, Paul declares Christ to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, and the resurrection from the dead proved it. Les also connects the term 'only begotten Son' not to Bethlehem but to His resurrection, when He became the truly only begotten Son of God. The same power of God that brought believers out of Satan's slave market is tied to that resurrection power.
