1 Corinthians 15:1-11 - ”The Evidence for the Resurrection” - Nick Steinichen / November 5, 2023

This book has been full of important issues. However, there is one issue that is vital to all other issues that have been addressed in 1 Corinthians. In this section, the subject matter now shifts. Paul addresses this very important subject—not that the other issues he has addressed were not important, but this issue is of "first importance” (1 Corinthians 15:3): the resurrection. It seems as though some of the Corinthians were denying a physical resurrection of the body. This shouldn’t surprise us considering that the ancient pagan and Greek religions viewed the body as inferior to that of the soul. Paul addresses this issue with a compelling and biblical argument, beginning his defense of the resurrection with a defense of Jesus’ resurrection.
