Daily Bible Reading – June 2021, God’s Word of HopeSýnishorn

June 3

Introduction

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. In today’s reading, Paul says that God’s people will be raised to new life, just as God raised Jesus from death.

Today’s 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

Reread verses 12-19. What is Paul’s argument here?  How does Paul contrast Christ with Adam (verses 20-22)? Reread verses 24-28. How do you envision what Paul describes as “the end”?

Pray

Lord Jesus, I choose to live in union with you. Make me ever mindful of your death and resurrection, trusting in your presence through my struggles and in your promise of new life. Amen.

Prayer Concern

Those who are terminally ill
