Worship into the Week- Easter Sunrise
1 Corinthians 15:51-57
The great Victory over Sin, Death and the Devil.
A great earthquake, an angel of the Lord descending,
and a rolled back stone.
Trembling guards.
Something is not normal here.
"He is not here, for he has risen, as he said."
The Resurrection
The woman brought spices and arrived early.
The stone was rolled away and a young man
was sitting on the right side dressed in a white robe.
The women were afraid.
Jesus of Nazareth who was crucified is not here-
they were told.
He has risen, he is not here.
The Resurrection of Christ
v.3"Christ died for our sins in accordance
with the Scriptures, that he was buried,
that he was raised on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures."
The Resurrection of the Dead
v.13 " But if there is no resurrection of the dead,
then not even Christ has been raised.
And if Christ has not been raised,
then our preaching is in vain
and your faith is in vain."
1 Corinthians 15:19-26
St. Paul talks here about the resurrection of Jesus
believing that Jesus had a Spirit-empowered, material,
resurrected body. Paul was a Pharisee Jew who believed in a resurrection, unlike the Sadducee Jews.
He also believed that every Christian
would also one day receive
a resurrected Spirit empowered body
v. 20 "but in fact Christ
has been raised for the dead.."
And on this day we can sing-
I Know that my Redeemer Lives!
He is Risen indeed! Alleluia!
