If your cross is not empty, they you are lost, still dead in your sins and there is no redemption.
1 Corinthians 15:12-19 Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain. We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified about God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised.
For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. 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.
You are misinformed if you believe salvation is first and last found anywhere but He on the Cross.
The bare cross is quite barren of Salvation, without Him.
A discussion of your resurrection without Him first on the Cross is secondary without that Work.
