I Corinthians 15
Recently I have been preparing for a Triathlon with some members of the church. We have been meeting up a couple times throughout the week and biking and running together. We have become teammates in training. A number of times we have made plans to train and unforeseen circumstances, and some not so unforeseen, have risen to interrupt our training. Although we have had the best of intentions in aiming to stick to our training regimen, we do not always come through and fulfill our promises.
Lots of people make claims and promises throughout our lives that do not come to fruition. But our Hero, our Leader, and our Lord Jesus Christ delivered on His promise. He singularly rose again from the dead. And had the Offering of his life not been acceptable, our Great Priest would never had emerged from the tomb on Easter Sunday. Because Jesus rose again, we know that the Offering took; we know that His sacrifice was accepted; and we know we are forgiven. As the Apostle Paul states “and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins.” The resurrection validates His claim and its what makes Jesus unique in history. And most thankfully it means our sins are forgiven.
