Christ is Risen

But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

1 Corinthians 15:20

“But, now…”

Contrary to all the false teachings about the resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:12-19), the Apostle Paul speaks the truth (1 Corinthians 15:1-11).

My family has enjoyed over the years the music of Jamie Soles. For me, I have always especially liked his song, “Resurrection.” After recently listening to it again and watching this on Youtube as it pictures friends and family digging the grave and preparing for the burial of his son, Judah, I realize all the more the hopelessness without Jesus’ life, death and resurrection and the hopefulness we have in him as He is the Firstfruits risen from the dead.

Enjoy, even with tears.

What If There Was No Easter?

What if there was no Easter? It’s a question that we don’t ask because we already know the truth of the matter. However, what if…? For the Apostle Paul it’s an important thought. And it’s an important thought as we worship together at church and as we gather in family worship. Here’s Paul’s view: [tweet_dis]If… Read More →

The Goodness of Good Friday

Where is the goodness of Good Friday in a cruel cross? It is evidenced in our salvation from sin. If we took the time to list out all our sins individually it would take us all day [correction: more than a lifetime]. But here’s a short list of our sins in which Paul reminds us of… Read More →
