Passage: 1 Corinthians 15:1-8
In the book of Corinthians, Paul deals with those who deny their own bodily resurrection by first establishing the historical reliability of Jesus’ resurrection. He does this in order to lay a firm foundation for his argument that Christ’s resurrection actually happened. The truth is grounded in the testimony of eye witnesses who were still alive when Paul wrote 1 Corinthians 15:4-8, and therefore able to give firsthand testimony to the truth. If Jesus can get out of the grave, then all the other miracles are easy. Miracles are possible for us too! That’s the message of the gospel. The gospel is not only something we embrace at the beginning of the Christian life but the source of strength throughout the Christian life.
