~ Jesus Christ Is Our Great Sacrifice
and Resurrected Savior ~
The Bible is about Jesus Christ
~ “Jesus
said to them, ‘How foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that
the prophets have spoken! Did not the
Christ have to suffer these things
and then enter His glory?’ And beginning
with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them what was said in all the
Scriptures concerning Himself” (Luke 24:25-27).
Jesus Christ in the Letters Addressed
to the Corinthians ~ Throughout
these two books we see the power of the love of Jesus Christ and Him giving the
gifts of the Holy Spirit to His Church.
Jesus Christ in the Epistle of 1
Corinthians ~ In
the first epistle to the Corinthians we see Jesus Christ as the great unifier,
the great sacrifice, the resurrected Savior, the first fruits from among the
dead, our sanctification, and the coming Lord.
Note also
that the Old Testament contains a lot concerning wisdom, honor, and
strength. The Messiah displays those
traits, but in an amazing reality He came and died in a manner which seemed to
be foolish, dishonorable, and weak. The
key to understanding The Messiah and Christianity is in His resurrection from
the dead. The Messiah was raised from
death to glory. Christians—those who
truly believe in Him and have accepted Him as their only way to God—share in
His resurrection both now in newness of life and in the final resurrection for
eternal life with Him.
Comment
~ We have only touched the
surface of Christ in the book of 1 Corinthians.
The Apostle Paul told us the Scriptures present many shadows of things
to come but the reality is found in Jesus Christ (Colossians 2:17).
Compare
the Following Passages
~
“Therefore
a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they
shall become one flesh” (Genesis 2:24). “For ‘the two,’ He says, ‘shall become one flesh.’ But he who is joined to the Lord is one
spirit with Him” ( 1 Corinthians 6:16b-17).
