I would have to combine crucified and rose from the dead. That’s what the entire religion is built on. Without his death and resurrection, there would be no Christianity.
 
I can’t vote, I guess I’m too new.

I would say the most important thing is Jesus is my Savior! Because of Him, and His sacrifice, I am forgiven, saved from eternal death, and am promised a place in heaven (if I uphold myself). Jesus is my whole life, without Him I am nothing. He is my giver of hope each day to get me though. Blessed be His holy name, Jesus my salvation.
 
He rose from the dead…without this one the others are meaningless for us.
 
Only someone who rises from death has power over it, and only one who has power over death is worth following into it!

ICXC NIKA.

Yes, He would, He was the Son of God (God the Son) from all eternity.

But the resurrection is the greatest proof that he was God the Son.

Sorry to nitpick :),

The resurrection. Why? Because, (paraphrasing St. Paul) - without the resurrection, the crucifixion would have been meaningless! Seriously, the apostles pretty clearly made the resurrection the most important part of their message. The message of the resurrection means that Jesus must have died in the first place, because one cannot be raised from the dead if one has not died in the first place. And, it’s due to the resurrection that we even have a Christian faith! Had Jesus not risen from the dead in a glorified state, never to die again, His teachings would have died with Him. The apostles, who had given up everything to follow Him, could very well have given up all hope and returned home (Peter nearly did - recall the post-resurrection miraculous catch?). The resurrection is the cornerstone to the Gospel. No resurrection = no Gospel. The essence of the Gospel is, truly, Jesus took the sins of all on Himself at His crucifixion, then broke the shackles of death - reversing the curse laid on Adam for all who would believe in Him. As Jesus rose from the dead, so shall all who believe and follow Him also rise from the dead, and live eternally with Him, body and soul, in Heaven.
