We celebrate these facts on Resurrection Sunday, however as believers, our faith shouldn't be based solely upon the facts, but most importantly upon our own personal experience with the Lord.  Indeed, this is what the Apostle Paul spells out in the 15th Chapter of his letter to the church at Corinth (I Corinthians 15:1-10).  He shares facts about Jesus' death, burial and resurrection, but most importantly he also shares that he's experienced the Lord Jesus Christ for himself!
