Turning the world upside down through the Power of the Gospel, Part 2
When Paul preached Jesus and the resurrection, it was regarded as strange… In disputing with the Jews and Greeks, the contentious issue was the resurrection. As Christians, are we confident in our own belief in the reality and certainty of the resurrection? The Apostle Paul wrote to the Corinthians, 'It is the same way with the resurrection of the dead. Our earthly bodies are planted in the ground when we die, but they will be raised to live forever. Our bodies are buried in brokenness, but they will be raised in glory. They are buried in weakness, but they will be raised in strength. They are buried as natural human bodies, but they will be raised as spiritual bodies. For just as there are natural bodies, there are also spiritual bodies.' (1 Corinthians 15:42-44.)
