The Apostle Paul wrote, “If Christ is not raised, then your faith is in vain”

(I Corinthians 15).

If it could be said that the whole of the Christian faith stands or falls with any one claim, the claim that God raised the crucified Jesus from the dead is that claim.

Pastor John found himself thinking about this as he sat beside a church member who was in her final hours. It got him thinking about faith – his, yours, and ours. By faith, Paul was not talking about what we think. It’s more than what we believe; it is how we live. Resurrection is not just for life beyond the grave. Resurrection is new life now. That’s why Paul says, our labor is not in vain and it is what we want to share in this episode.
