Resurrection Day

¹ Now brothers, I want to clarify^[a] for you the gospel I proclaimed to you; you received it and have taken your stand on it. ² You are also saved by it, if you hold to the message I proclaimed to you—unless you believed for no purpose.^{[b] 3} For I passed on to you as most important what I also received:
that Christ died for our sins
according to the Scriptures,
⁴ that He was buried,
that He was raised on the third day
according to the Scriptures,
⁵ and that He appeared to Cephas,
then to the Twelve.
⁶ Then He appeared to over 500 brothers at one time;
most of them are still alive,
but some have fallen asleep.
⁷ Then He appeared to James,
then to all the apostles.
⁸ Last of all, as to one abnormally born,^[c]
He also appeared to me.  1 Corinthians 15:1-8

     This Sunday's Sermon Text is 1 Corinthians 15 where the apostle Paul reminds us that our faith is cerntered in the Death, Burial and Resurrection of Jesus Christ.  Without his death there is no attonement for our sins.  Without His Resurrection our faith is useless and we are still in our sins.  Therefore this Lord's Day let us think carefully about the Resurrection and celebrate the hope we have in Christ.
