Today, read 1 Corinthians 15 on your own at least one time. As you read, make notes in a notebook or in the margins of your Bible. Record all of the insights God gives you. Don't read my remarks until you have first done this yourself.
If you are doing this at work and don't have easy access to a Bible, or maybe you are at home but don't have a NLT Bible, you can read almost any version at www.BibleGateway.com.
If you don't know what the colors or the format mean, read the three introductions to this blog. They are linked on the left hand side of this page.
Here are the insights I wrote down along with the verses they go with...
-----
15:6 (NLT) After that, he was seen by more than 500 of his followers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have died.
There was no legitimate way to deny the resurrection because of the number of witnesses.
-----
15:11 (NLT) Therefore, whether it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.
Every God called, obedient preacher will preach the same truth: that Jesus Christ is risen!
-----
15:17-18 (NKJ) And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins! 18 Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
The resurrection of Christ is essential to the Christian faith. Without the resurrection, nothing else has meaning or value.
-----
15:22 (NLT) Just as everyone dies because we all belong to Adam, everyone who belongs to Christ will be given new life.
Praise God that we can all be made right through Christ.
-----
15:27-28 (NLT) For the Scriptures say, “God has put all things under his authority.” (Of course, when it says “all things are under his authority,” that does not include God himself, who gave Christ his authority.) 28 Then, when all things are under his authority, the Son will put himself under God’s authority, so that God, who gave his Son authority over all things, will be utterly supreme over everything everywhere.
In the Trinity, although God the Father and God the Son are equal in value, God has authority over the Son. The Son does not have authority over the Father.
-----
15:50 (NLT) What I am saying, dear brothers and sisters, is that our physical bodies cannot inherit the Kingdom of God. These dying bodies cannot inherit what will last forever.
Lord, remind me daily to live for those things that will last forever instead of those things which are temporary.
-----
15:54-55 (NLT) Then, when our dying bodies have been transformed into bodies that will never die, this Scripture will be fulfilled:

O death, where is your victory?
O death, where is your sting?”
How I look forward and wait anxiously for this great day.
