CHRIST'S VICTORY OVER DEATH LESSON TEXT' I CorintbiaM 15 41-5 J GOLDEN TEXT Thanks I* to God. which giveth u» the victory throughour Lord Jexus Christ -I Corinthians »’ 57 "If there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: and if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain" (I Cor. 15 13, 14). Jn other words, the truth of the resurrection is an indispensable foundation stone upon which the structure of Christian doctrine rests. Beware of those who would spiritualize or explain it away’ The facts are there—fully proved and dependable; there is no need for doubt or question In our lesson.we find: 1. The Great C hange (w. 41-50' Since it is obvious that our present bodies are not suitable for the spiritual world tv 50», and that there comes, sooner or later 'and almost always, it seems, too soon!), an end to their existence, there must be a radical transforming change This takes place in the resurrection of the body To make such a blessed-and to the human mind, almost inconceivable—truth clear. Paul uses the effective method of comparison and contrast. Following his skillful use of the illustration of the sowing of grain, which dies that it may live again (I Cor 15 35-30>. he gives us a picture of the resurrection body. That which we must put away in the silent earth at the end of life's day is a natural body, weak and lacking eternal glory <v. 431. It has already shown the evidences of decay and corruption, which we know shall he completely manifested in a short time. Marvelous as it has been as an earthly body, it cannot go with Us into eternity <vv. 47. 48>. for it Is natural and not at home in the spiritual world. Note. then, the great change that takes place In the resurrection, the body for the eternal activity »f the believer stands out as glorious, incorrupt and incorruptible, powerful, spiritually quickened, and heavenly. What more could be said" Here we stand amazed and at the same time encouraged by the revelation of what Cod has in store for us who believe on Christ Death does not end all—it is only the beginning of real fullness of life and usefulness for the Christian And all that is because of— If. The Great Victory <w. 51-57). Death is an enemy, indeed man's great enemy. There are those who have tried to deny that fact, to explain it away They talk about death as "the great adventure.” etc. but when one actually comes to face it. the truth is realized It Is an enemy. But in Christ, death is a conquered enemy The blessed message of Easter day is that ' death is swallowed up in victory" <v. 54) Death could not hold our Lord tv. 57). and He was the "first fruits of them that sleep" (v. 20*. This assures us that because He lives, we too, who believe on Him. shall live bo death has lost its sting, and the grave its victory (v. 58). With Paul we cry out today from the depths of our beings "Thanks be to Cod. who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ" tv. 57). This is a day of joy. of singing, of victorious faith. But the joy of Easter is not simply something to warm one's heart It is— Hl. The Great Incentive (v 58). Living for Christ and serving Him in this world is our greatest privilege, but we are all so human that we need encouragement. We need an incentive. The Bible speaks much of the rewards of Cod to those who are faithful, and gives many assurances that we are not engaged in a vain task. At times It seems as though Iren only reject, and the work of the Lord moves but slowly, if at all. Let vs not be discouraged or disheartened. We follow and serve a victorious Christ. One who has triumphed over death and hell Wbnt we do for Him is never dot* in vain Note the helpful thought here. We are to be "immovable." and yet "abounding " That seems paradoxical. but it is not. tor it » only the life steadfast and unmovable at the center which can absurd at the circumference. That center is the resurrected Christ, and when we are established to Hun. we are ready to live the abundant life for Him Easter is a glad day fw a bcUever. but ft is a sad day for the unbeliever He may attempt to maintain an outward appearance of joy. but he will know in his heart that Die message of the day is definitely not for hun. And yet it is. for today he may by faith take as his Saviour the Risen One and enter into full nets of joy in Him So many people "celebrate" Eas ter all their lives, year after year, but never truly keep the feast." May aaany such tr-ends make Hua Eas'sr day. 1544 the begioiuag cf a nes kb in Carat:
