Listen "Resurrection: Foundation of Christianity"
Episode Synopsis
1 Cor. 15:12-58"Resurrection: Foundation of Christianity" Prof. Korb, a professor at New York University, says of the resurrection.“The miracle of a bodily resurrection is something I rejected without moving away from its basic idea. What I mean is that we can reach the lowest points of our lives, of going deep into a place that feels like death, and then find our way out again — that’s the story the Resurrection now tells me. And at Easter, this is expressed in community, and at its best, through the compassion of others.”Matt 16:4 - 4 "An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign; and a sign will not be given it, except the sign of Jonah." And He left them and went away.1 Cor. 15:3 - 3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 1. If Jesus was not raised from the dead our preaching and our faith is in vain.1 Cor 15:14-15 - 14 And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain. 15 We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified about God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised.V. 19-- If in this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied2. If Jesus was not raised from the dead we would still be in our sins.Heb 9:27 - 27 And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, Romans 3:23For the wages of sin is death….1 Tim 1:15 - 15 It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, among whom I am foremost of all. 3. If Jesus was not raised death would be final.v. 23 But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ. Rom 8:11 - 11 If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you. 42 So also is the resurrection of the dead.It is sown a perishable body, it is raised an imperishable body;43 it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory;it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power;44 it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. 1 Cor 15:52-53 - 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53 For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality. Rom 8:16-17 - 16 The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God,17 and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.Col 3:3 - 3 For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory. 1 Peter 1:3-5 - 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, 5 who are protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
