April 11
Introduction
In today’s reading, Paul gives his most detailed teaching about the Christian hope for life after death. He says that God’s people will be raised to new life, just as God raised Jesus from death.
Scripture Reading
1 Corinthians 15:12-34
Today’s Key Verse:1 Corinthians 15:22
For just as all people die because of their union with Adam, in the same way all will be raised to life because of their union with Christ.
Reflect
Apparently, some of the followers of Christ in Corinth did not believe that people who had died could be raised from death to eternal life. Reread verses 12-22. What is Paul’s argument? How does Paul contrast Christ with Adam? Do you ever encounter people who express skepticism about Jesus’s resurrection? If so, how do you respond to them?
Pray
Lord Jesus, I choose to live in union with you. You offer me forgiveness, and you have overcome sin and death. Make me ever mindful of your sacrificial death and resurrection, trusting in your presence through my struggles and in your promise of new life. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
1 Corinthians 15:35-58: Paul discusses the resurrected and immortal body.
