1 Corinthians 15 · Grade 4

Raised in Power

Name Date

Read and Think

Paul reminds the Corinthians of the Good News he preached. Christ died for sins according to the Scriptures, was buried, and was raised on the third day. Many witnesses saw Him alive: Peter, the twelve, over five hundred at once, James, all the apostles, and last of all Paul.

Some in Corinth said there is no resurrection of the dead. Paul answers that if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised, and faith is in vain. But Christ has been raised. He is the first fruits, like the first part of a harvest, promising that those who belong to Him will be raised too.

Someone might ask what kind of body the dead will have. Paul uses the picture of a seed. What is sown is perishable, but it is raised imperishable. Death will be swallowed up in victory. So believers should stand firm and keep working for the Lord, because their labor is not in vain.
