The Word : 1 Corinthians 15 – Resurrection – Life
1 Cor. 15:20,23, “But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep…23 But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ.” ESV
God’s Promise IX:
1 Corinthians 15:54, “Death is swallowed up in victory.” ESV
For the believer in Christ, this promise is one of the blocks in the foundation of our unshakable hope. The grave brings sorrow, for sure. But it need not bring despair. The tomb could not hold Jesus, and since Christ is in you, the tomb will not be able to hold you either.
I urge you, beg you, implore you to set your heart on this hope!
Hebrews 12:28, “Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken…”
Looking forward to connecting in worship with you at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church – Tracy CA this Sunday, March 8, 2020. Unshakable Hope Series. Worship times at 8:30 a.m. and 10:00 a.m.
God bless you this day
