THE IRONCLAD GUARANTEE OF THE GOSPEL (1 Corinthians 15:1-8)

THE IRONCLAD GUARANTEE OF THE GOSPEL (1 Corinthians 15:1-8)

Today, on this Easter Sunday morning, I want to talk to you about The Ironclad Guarantee of The Gospel.  Easter is not about bunnies, and baskets, and baked hams.  Easter is about the gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  I am not saying that we cannot celebrate Easter with candy and easter egg hunts.  To this day, as old as we are, my wife loves to hide eggs for our grown kids and grandchildren.  I feel the same way about celebrating Christmas with Santa Clause and presents.  However, I am saying that when we do celebrate these very special religious holidays, we need to remember, and make it a priority, to celebrate the real reason for the season, the birth, death, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.

One of the great and wonderful things about a study of the gospels is that every sermon that Jesus gave, every parable that Jesus used, every miracle that Jesus performed, and every teaching moment that Jesus had with His disciples, was pointing toward the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.  This is the reason that Jesus stepped out of the throne room of God and became God incarnate in man.  The Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit had planned this event from the foundation of the world.  And this is the culmination of that plan.

The death, burial, and resurrection, of our Lord form the foundation of our faith.  It is imperative that each of us understand the importance these events have on our salvation.  For without the death and burial of Jesus Christ, our sins would not be forgiven; And without the resurrection of Jesus Christ, death and sin would not be conquered, we would not have eternal life with God, and we would not have Jesus Christ as our High Priest sitting on the right hand of God.  

The amazing love and power of the one true God is on display in these events as nowhere else in the Bible.  Forget, the splitting of the Red Sea, the daily miracles displayed by Jesus as he walked on this earth, or Jonah being swallowed by the whale.  When God sent His only begotten Son to die for our sins, and then displayed His awesome power in the resurrection of His Son, just so that we might be able to live with Him forever, that was an act of true love and power. 

Nobody has ever, or will ever, love you like God loves you.
