TEXT: 1 Corinthians 15:1-9 (KJV)
1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
5 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:
6 After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.
7 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.
8 And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.
9 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
KEY 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.” – (1 Corinthians 15:3,4)
DCLM Daily Manna For Today MESSAGE:
The fact about Christ’s resurrection is a crucial message in the Scripture. Men of immense moral stature and integrity did not mince words in declaring this truth. Paul the apostle, from the moment he had an unforgettable encounter with Christ to the end of his ministry, never ceased to display the same fidelity and strength of purpose in declaring what he experienced and received about His resurrection.

Interestingly, Christ’s resurrection is a verifiable truth. It was foretold in the Psalms, presented in prophecy, announced by Christ and proclaimed by the Apostles. Moreover, the empty tomb, angelic testimony, the report of His enemies coupled with the apostolic preaching is a fact that cannot be faulted.
Other infallible truths about His resurrection can be traced by His appearances as recorded in the Scriptures to Mary Magdalene, two disciples on their way to Emmaus, Simon Peter, His eleven disciples, above 500 brethren, James, all the apostles and last of all, to Paul. All these are to give credence to the truth of the gospel, which we preach.
The Scripture cannot be broken. From generation to generation, the word of God stands sure. There is no room for updating, modernisation, debating or revising. It fits in in every generation. We are to hear it, receive it, believe it, practice it, declare it, claim its promises, contend against error and stand by it to reap the full benefits of its immense treasure. Those who live like Christ and are occupied with His mandate will undoubtedly be raised on the day of resurrection of the saints to life eternal.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Christ’s resurrection is not a fallacy.

1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
