Core Truth: “There is one event in history that is unparalleled in its effect upon the world – the resurrection of Christ. Nothing like this is had ever happened before, and nothing since has equaled it. When Jesus rose from the grave, the impact was felt immediately and has continued to reverberate throughout the world. This event has shaken not only religions, cultures, and governments; but individuals, as one by one, believers are transformed through Christ’s resurrection power.” (Dr. Charles Stanley)
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:12-26 New International Version (NIV)
But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? … Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. But each in turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him. Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power. For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death.
