1 Corinthians 15:12, Christ Rose from the Dead
1 Corinthians 15:12 Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
The truth of the resurrection was sorely challenged as an untruth. But the truth cannot be nullified because it is fixed upon the backbone of history. The Apostle Paul himself saw the resurrected Christ. He was an eye-witness. He cannot deny the truth of the resurrected Christ that he saw. He has to be true the heavenly vision that turned his life around.
Acts 26:12-19 Whereupon as I went to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests, At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me. And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee; Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee, To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:
The Scripture opens the truth of the resurrection to us. May it be received with faith, thanksgiving and yea to the salvation of our souls. Amen.
