6|15 in Fact Christ Has Been Raised

Notes

After walking through the devastating “what if” of a world without resurrection, Paul makes a glorious U-turn: “But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.”

This is the great news that changes everything. Jesus’ resurrection is not just a past event — it is the guarantee and preview of ours. The end has broken into the middle of history. Death is sleep for the believer. The future is certain. Our faith is not vain, our sins are forgiven, and a harvest of resurrected bodies is coming.

If you’ve ever felt the weight of bad news, grief, or doubt — this is the good news that answers it. Christ is risen, and because He lives, we will live also.

"But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep" (1 Co 15:20).
