The Nature and Hope of the Resurrection

On Easter Sunday our sermon was from 1 Corinthians 15:1-34 and focused on the centrality and importance of the resurrection of Christ. In this second sermon from 1 Corinthians 15:35-52 two common questions which some ask about the resurrection of the dead are first, how are the dead raised? And second, what kind of body do those who are raised possess? The sermon answers these two questions, by showing the ways the resurrection bodies of Christians will be like Christ’s glorious body. Beyond this, however, the sermon also gives insight into why the resurrection from the dead is necessary, too.
