I'm a little surprised by this statement. There are many Scriptures that indicate that the preaching of the gospel by Jesus and his apostles did have power. Jesus indicated that people were pressing into the kingdom of God. They did many miracles and healed a great many people. I certainly understand how the resurrection is a central part of the gospel, being a kind of climax of the extent of the power of the gospel, but to say that the gospel did not even have power until he was raised from the dead is a bit of an overstatement from my perspective. Would you like me to take time to cite some Scripture indicating salvation before the resurrection, and of the power of the gospel to heal the sick and raise the dead? Peace be with you.
