THE TOMB IS EMPTY – JESUS ​​LIVES

Today’s chapter is 1 Corinthians 15.

CHRIST IS RISEN HE IS TRULY RISEN

JESUS ​​LIVES!

Without the RESURRECTION of JESUS, the basis of our faith disappears, and we are to be considered “the most pitiable of all men,” as Paul puts it in 1 Corinthians 15:18

When the women went to the tomb, they did not expect to see an angel or to meet the resurrected Jesus. They had brought ointment to anoint Jesus’ body, and perhaps had expected to have some trouble with the Roman guards.

Suddenly, something happened that NO ONE had imagined. An angel steps forward, rolls away the stone from the tomb, and sits on it. The guards do not understand and faint.

How would we react if that happened to us?
Imagine that a few days after the funeral of a close friend, you go back to lay a flower on the grave and suddenly an angel is sitting by the fence and tells you that you can deliver the flower to the deceased, who is waiting for you out in the woods.

How would you react?
Would you, like the women we read about, fall back and float on a pink cloud, or would you believe that you were seeing a vision and were losing your mind, because that is humanly impossible.

The women had no doubt:
THEY DID WHAT THE ANGEL TOLD THEM.

They tell the disciples, and we read that Peter and another disciple did not quite believe them, and wanted to see it for themselves – So they ran out to the tomb, not at a breakneck pace, but at record speed, I think.

IS IT NOT JESUS ​​OF NAZARETH YOU ARE LOOKING FOR? HE IS NOT HERE HE HAS RISEN FROM THE DEAD.

We can also experience Jesus – in the midst of the unexpected, what we cannot understand in this time of wars and insecurity in the world, or in the midst of frustration, sorrow, illness, pain, failure and defeat

JESUS ​​CAME TO THE DISCIPLES AND REVEALED HIMSELF. HE CAN DO THE SAME INTO YOUR SITUATION AND BRING LIFE, JOY, LIGHT AND TRANSFORMATION.

The angels’ message is also valid today:

CHRIST IS RISEN HE IS TRULY RISEN.

Jesus has conquered sin and death. He has paved a way so that we can boldly go to our Heavenly FATHER with everything that weighs us down.

Paul writes about the “core of the Gospel:
”CHRIST’S RESURRECTION” It describes OUR RESURRECTION and in the last half of the chapter describes: OUR NEW RESURRECTION BODIES

A chapter that is often overlooked, but good reading, in the Easter days. 1. Cor. Chapter 15 Death, where is your victory? Death, where is your sting? We praise God for all this.

IT IS HE WHO GIVES US VICTORY THROUGH JESUS ​​CHRIST OUR LORD

“My Jesus lives, therefore I will live. My Jesus lives, therefore I am safe. My future is in Jesus’ hands. My life is worth living, because He loves me”

CHRIST IS RISEN – JESUS ​​LIVES

“HE LIVES, HE LIVES, YES JESUS ​​LIVES TODAY. HE LEADS US, HE STRENGTHENS US, HE WILL LEAD OUR CAUSE. HE LIVES, HE LIVES, HE SAVES EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES. AND YOU ASK WHERE JESUS ​​IS, HE LIVES IN MY HEART.”
