Day 9 -
April 9th
Resurrection
1
Corinthians 15:12 (NIV)
But
if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of
you say that there is no resurrection
of the dead?
So what's the
difference between being raised from the dead and being resurrected? A person who is raised from the dead,
resuscitated, will die again. A person who has been resurrected will never
physically die again. Remember that we
have talked about the fact that, culturally, the Corinthians did not believe in
people being raised from the dead.
Paul's main argument is that Jesus came to earth as a human. And since he died a human death, his
resurrection that was evidenced by many proves that we (humans) believers can
look forward to an eternal resurrected life after our earthly bodies cease to
exist.
Listen to Matt
Maher's "Because He Lives" and use it as your prayer today to
remember that because Jesus died for our sins and was resurrected, he has given
us that hope for our lives.
