I Corinthians 15 – 16

In today’s reading, Paul defines “what was most important and what had also been passed on to me. Christ died for our sins, juast as the Scriptures daid. He was buried, and he was raised from the dead on the third day, just as the Scriptures said. He was seen by Peter and then by the Twelve. After that, he was seen by more than 500 of his followers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have died. Then he was seen by James and later by all the apostles. Last of all, as though I had been born at the wrong time, I also saw him.”

Paul then goes on to talk about the resurrection of the dead. He describes how our bodies that are buried in brokenness will be raised in glory. Don’t you look forward to that day when we will all be transformed “in a moment, in the blink of an eye, when the last trumpet is blown.”

We can be comforted that “Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?”

Tomorrow, we’ll read II Corinthians 1 – 4.

Until next time…
