Good morning,
This week we will celebrate Passover, 8 April, and Resurrection Sunday (Easter), 12 April.
Our devotionals will center around Jesus death and burial, He is risen, Passover, the feast of unleavened bread, and how the resurrection changes everything.
Although COVID-19 has taken away our opportunity to fellowship together, it can never take away our ability to read and study the Word of God. You may see movies or other depictions of these events, but please make sure they line up with the Bible.
The resurrection changes everything.
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.
God made it very clear: no resurrection, no salvation! Now that is a scary thought. The good news is that Christ is resurrected from the dead. There were over five hundred witnesses. The Holy Spirit lives within each believer. Our eternal destiny is secure.
