WHAT IF THERE IS A RESURRECTION? - BOOK OF 1 CORINTHIANS LESSon #25Sermon Notes |
|
Date of Sermon: February 2, 2014
Main Idea: The concept of first fruits points to something more than just a resurrection Key Verse: "But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ." 1 Cor. 15:23 Bible Reading: 20 But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21 For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ. 24 Then comes the end, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power. 25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death. 27 For “God has put all things in subjection under his feet.” But when it says, “all things are put in subjection,” it is plain that he is excepted who put all things in subjection under him. 28 When all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will also be subjected to him who put all things in subjection under him, that God may be all in all.
