VERSE:
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also
received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the
scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the
third day according to the scriptures: And that he was seen of
Cephas, then of the twelve...
-- 1 Corinthians 15:3-5

THOUGHT:
Some things are "first importance" things. They lie at the heart
of the matter and are central to the issue at hand. For us as
Christians, we don't have to doubt what those "first importance"
things are. The Gospel of our salvation is built on one simple
foundation: Jesus died, Jesus was buried, Jesus rose from the
grave, and Jesus appeared to his disciples who were never the same
after witnessing their resurrected Savior. Let's not let anyone
distract us from these core truths or crowd out their simplicity
with other matters they may claim to be essential. Our salvation is
rooted in our faith and our participation in this simple, yet
powerful Gospel.
PRAYER:
Dear God, I confess my faith in your work for me in Jesus. I
believe that your Son and my Savior, Jesus, was crucified by wicked
men just as you had said long ago in your Word. I believe his dead
and lifeless body was placed in the tomb. I believe that on the
third day, you brought him back to life, just as you promised. I
believe that those most destroyed by his death, those who knew him
best, saw him alive again. I believe their lives were never the
same. I believe, dear Father, that as I have confessed my faith in
Jesus and shared with him in his death, burial, and resurrection
through baptism that my life is caught up with him in your
salvation and victory over death. I praise you for this grace. I
thank you for this assurance. I look forward to sharing in your
glory when he returns for me. Thank you for my salvation, in Jesus'
name. Amen.
