1 Cor 15 The Resurrection, real or fake?

It seems that Paul, in speaking to the Corinthian church, revealed the truth of the resurrection of Christ. Clearly, the church needed this piece of evidence to fully believe. Thus, he wrote to them “3 For I passed on to you as of first importance what I also received—that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, 4 and that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day according to the scriptures.” Continuing on in his evidence, Paul then presented those who witnessed his resurrected body and that He was truly resurrected. 

Some years ago Josh McDowell entitled his book “Evidence Demands a Verdict” to answer these very questions. It seems that today this same faulty argument has surfaced and so 1Cor 15 is key to our witnessing because we have many who deny not only the resurrection but also that Jesus is not in the grave but is alive. 

Are you prepared to give evidence of the resurrection of Christ? Study this chapter and hold it close to your heart. “that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures,” but he rose from the dead on the 3rd day and that is the truth and it needs to be rehearsed over and over.
