Resurrection Hope
April 19, 2025

    The resurrection of Jesus Christ is fundamental to the gospel; its fact guarantees life, and its function gives significance to all the Christian does in faith.

  1. The Resurrection is Fundamental to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. (1 Corinthians 15:1-11)
    • Jesus’ life, death, burial, and resurrection fulfills Scripture.
    • Jesus’ resurrection was validated by witnesses.


  2. The Fact of the Resurrection Guarantees Our Own Resurrection. (1 Corinthians 15:12-34)
    • If God does not raise the dead, then we are fools.
    • But since Christ has been raised, we can expect resurrection.


  3. The Function of the Resurrection in Swallowing Death Forever. (1 Corinthians 15:35-58)
    • Our mortal bodies cannot inherit the kingdom God is bringing.
    • Thus, we wait in hope for the mortal to put on immortality.
