Paul speaks to the Corinthians to not grieve for those who have passed from this life for if this occurs, we can trust that we now have a home that is heavenly and we are present with the Lord. Blessed are those who read these words: “For we know that if our earthly house, the tent we live in,is dismantled, we have a building from God, a house not built by human hands, that is eternal in the heavens.” Today as you ponder the passing of a loved one or a blessed friend, hang onto these words and be comforted. 

Last night a precious sister in the Lord left her earthly body and is now standing before the Lord she so loved. She leaves behind five beautiful daughters who love the Lord as well. May they be comforted by this passage Paul wrote and now we read. 

If you have experienced this, memorize this passage to share with the grieving. And may you be comforted to know your loved one may no longer be here in this earthly body but now is clothed with a heavenly robe as they see now with heavenly eyes the Savior they have loved. Praise God for this chapter. 

It seems that Paul, in speaking to the Corinthian church, revealed the truth of the resurrection of Christ. Clearly, the church needed this piece of evidence to fully believe. Thus, he wrote to them “3 For I passed on to you as of first importance what I also received—that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, 4 and that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day according to the scriptures.” Continuing on in his evidence, Paul then presented those who witnessed his resurrected body and that He was truly resurrected. 

Some years ago Josh McDowell entitled his book “Evidence Demands a Verdict” to answer these very questions. It seems that today this same faulty argument has surfaced and so 1Cor 15 is key to our witnessing because we have many who deny not only the resurrection but also that Jesus is not in the grave but is alive. 

Are you prepared to give evidence of the resurrection of Christ? Study this chapter and hold it close to your heart. “that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures,” but he rose from the dead on the 3rd day and that is the truth and it needs to be rehearsed over and over.
