I Corinthians 15:57 “But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” Any victory is pleasant at the very least. There is celebration even over small victories. Jesus has given you and me a reason to celebrate with the largest celebration possible. He has conquered death. Our lives have to be filled with a celebration that has jumping and rejoicing that would make any one watching comment–what is wrong with that guy! Jesus conquered death! That is cause for a phenomenal/fabulous/way over the top celebration!

I Corinthians 15:26 “The last enemy to be destroyed is death.” Jesus overcame even death through His resurrection. You and I will experience death if this world does not end first. After death we, because of the work of our Savior, will also experience a resurrection. We will become spiritual, live with our God forever and enjoy the happiness we have never experienced before. That is the greatest blessing which we are yet to receive. Death, man’s greatest fear, has been smashed/destroyed/demolished because of our beloved Savior. With faith we live in fear no more. A friend of mine has a prayer request: I got laid off from my job last Friday and my last day is Thursday this week. I’m viewing this as a time of opportunity to seek the Lord’s will for my life.I would appreciate prayers that stand in agreement for God’s will for me. Thanks,Marty

I Corinthians 15:20 “But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the first-fruits of those who have fallen asleep.” There is nothing more joyful than knowing our Savior was raised from the dead. No gift you will ever receive will make you happier. If Jesus had not risen our faith would be meaningless, BUT, He did rise so our faith is magnificent. Our life on this earth has meaning and purpose and eternity in Heaven is guaranteed. What better news can you hear on this Monday morning?

I Corinthians 15:10a “But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect…” You and I are known and loved by our Heavenly Father and you and I in turn know and love God. That truth did not happen by accident and that fact carries responsibility. What is the effect that wonderful truth has on you and me? How do each of us take that responsibility and both live as He tells us and how do we share the Gospel? Have a great weekend.

I Corinthians 15:3-4 “For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures…” The author of these words thought it was of ultra importance to pass on the most valuable truth known to man. Jesus lived, died and rose. Is there any other truth you or I can pass on to our children, grandchildren, those we love or all the world than the story of our Savior? The telling of that story is our most important task and privilege on this earth.
