—1 Corinthians 15:1-8
by: Angie Osborn.
This passage summarizes what we believe as truth. Christ died for our sins, was raised from the dead and then appeared to his disciples. Can you imagine the emotional roller coaster that the disciples must have experienced? First they stood helplessly by as the Lord was crucified. They were filled with sorrow and despair only to find a few days later that he was ALIVE! Christ did not stay in the grave, he rose again. With that, he brought new life to us as well. If we accept his gift of grace and believe in him as the Son of God, he will rescue us from death and give us new life in him! The disciples were literal witnesses—they were there and saw it. We too are witnesses as we experience his power and glory in our lives. Thank God for his perfect plan and for providing a way to him through Christ!
