1 Corinthians 15: 12-20
CHRIST HAS BEEN RAISED
But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep. 1 Corinthians 15:20, NIV
The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the centre of our Christian faith. Christianity will be a charade if He has not risen. It was as He died and was buried that believers are also dead to sins; but as He rose from the dead, a new life also burst forth when believers give their lives to Christ. And the evidences of His resurrection are there clearly for all to see. It is only those who are blind and doomed in their sins that will not agree that He rose from the dead.
Friend, our hope in Christ is beyond this life. If He was raised from the dead, we shall also rise in the latter day into His glorious rest. No matter what you face now, He who raised Jesus from the dead shall also "quicken your mortal body".
Like Job, let your confession be "Still, I know that God lives – the One who gives me back my life..." Job 19: 25 (MSG).

None but God can satisfy the longings of the immortal soul; as the heart was made for Him, He only can fill it. – Richard C. French
