1 Corinthians 15 4-1 Corinthians 15 21
He was buried. He was raised from the dead on the third day, just as Scripture said he would be.He appeared to Peter. Then he appeared to the 12 apostles.After that, he appeared to more than 500 brothers and sisters at the same time. Most of them are still living. But some have died.He appeared to James. Then he appeared to all the apostles.Last of all, he also appeared to me. I was like someone who wasn’t born at the right time.I am the least important of the apostles. I’m not even fit to be called an apostle. I tried to destroy God’s church.But because of God’s grace I am what I am. And his grace was not wasted on me. No, I have worked harder than all the other apostles. But I didn’t do the work. God’s grace was with me.So this is what we preach, whether I or the other apostles who preached to you. And that is what you believed.We have preached that Christ has been raised from the dead. So how can some of you say that no one rises from the dead?If no one rises from the dead, then not even Christ has been raised.And if Christ has not been raised, what we preach doesn’t mean anything. Your faith doesn’t mean anything either.More than that, we would be lying about God. We are witnesses that God raised Christ from the dead. But he did not raise him if the dead are not raised.If the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either.And if Christ has not been raised, your faith doesn’t mean anything. Your sins have not been forgiven.Those who have died believing in Christ are also lost.Do we have hope in Christ only for this life? Then people should pity us more than anyone else.But Christ really has been raised from the dead. He is the first of all those who will rise from the dead.Death came because of what a man did. Rising from the dead also comes because of what a man did.

We will meet the Lord in the air. And we will be with him forever.

And that’s not all. We have the Holy Spirit as the promise of future blessing. But we also groan inside ourselves. We do this as we look forward to the time when God adopts us as full members of his family. Then he will give us everything he has for us. He will raise our bodies and give glory to them.That’s the hope we had when we were saved. But hope that can be seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have?We hope for what we don’t have yet. So we are patient as we wait for it.
