Good morning,
The resurrection changes everything. This week we look at Christ’s death, burial, resurrection, and post resurrection happenings.
The Resurrection Changes Everything 1 Corinthians 15:3-6, 13-18)
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: 5 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: 6 After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.
But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: 14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. 15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not. 16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: 17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. 18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
ACTION POINTS:
- Serve Christ as did Joseph and Nicodemus
- Seek Jesus as did Mary Magdalene
- Worship and fear Jesus as did the women and disciples
- Witness for Jesus as He commanded
- Teach others God’s word as he commanded
- Without the Resurrection your faith is in vain
- REMEMBER: Jesus is always with you
