Devotions For Lent – Day 48

RESURRECTION SUNDAY

What If?

“But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our
Lord Jesus Christ.”     (1 Corinthians 15:57)

Read 1 Corinthians 15:12-58.

Easter Sunday! Christ is risen! But, what if they found the corpse of Christ in the tomb? God forbid! But, what if? Paul lays out the unimaginable answer in 1 Corinthians 15:13-14. Our faith is futile. There is no point in any of our teaching. It is all a lie. If Christ is dead, our loved ones remain in the grave. We are wasting our time and our life for nothing. We are just wandering around in the dark, hanging on to a few words of inspiration for a few short years.

Now, are you ready for Paul’s answer? “But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead.” (1 Corinthians 15:20). What glorious words! Our faith is not empty. It is all true! Those who are in Christ by faith shall never die. The veil is torn! Nothing separates us from eternal life with God! Jesus is risen!

This Easter, take a few minutes to reflect or write some words of praise to your risen Savior.

Prayer Starter:
Jesus, torn from the Father, now forever reunited at the throne, I praise You and thank You for the courage You give me in my life today and every day . . .
