Resurrection

Read 1 Corinthians 15.12-14

“if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith ..” (1 Cor.15.14)

The good news centres on a person and an event – ‘Jesus and the resurrection’ as the summary of Paul’s preaching in Athens is summarised (Acts 17.18). The gospel without Jesus is empty: the message without the resurrection is nothing. It is good news!

In what ways does the fact of the resurrection change a person’s perspective and living?

How were you persuaded of the reality of resurrection?

Prayer: Often, Lord, I’m like the father, who said ‘I do believe: help me overcome my unbelief!’ (Mk.9.14-29). You are the resurrection – help me to know You better!
