Today’s Key Idea:

Jesus’ resurrection can make all things new... including you!

In I Corinthians 15, you and I discover the answers to three basic “What?” Questions about the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

First “What?” Question:

“What really happened that First Easter?”

Second “What?” Question

“So what? What does it matter?”

Fact: there are major implications of Jesus’ resurrection!

1 Corinthians 15:45

“So it is written: ‘The first man Adam became a living being’; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit.”

Risen Jesus =’s Last Adam

Third “What?” Question

“Now what? What should I do with Jesus’ resurrection?”

Take-Away

Jesus’ resurrection: it can make all things new… including you!

Every head bowed, and all eyes closed, please.
