"The Tomb is Empty" by Pastor Rudy Flores 1 Cor 15:12-14 ~ 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? If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. Here Paul was giving the message of the resurrection of the dead in Christ. He was teaching that if Christ had not risen from the dead, there there would be no validity to preachings nor to our faith. Jesus was buried. He had to be buried for there to be a resurrection in a celestial and glorified body. Christ said that if the wheat does not fall on fertile soil and die it will not bear fruit. In the same manner, Jesus had to die to bear much fruit, you and I. 1 Cr. 15:20 ~ 1 Thes 4:16-17 ~ Acts 23:8 ~ Acts 7:55-56 ~ Matthew 28:5-6 ~ Matthew 28:18 ~ |
