Sermon Video: According to the Scriptures - 1 Corinthians 15:1-7

The Apostle Paul begins his extended discussion of the significance of the resurrection from the dead of Jesus Christ with a reminder to the church in Corinth that it is upon the historicity of the Gospel that he related to them that they have taken their stand.  By way of bolstering the claim of the eyewitnesses that Paul lists, he emphasizes that the death of Christ upon the cross, the meaning of that death, and the resurrection three days later were all foretold in the Hebrew Scriptures.  Far from being mere happenstance, the events that unfolded were in every detail a part of the plan of God, from beginning to end, accomplishing the goal set up by God: affecting a sacrifice of the perfect God-Man on our behalf, enabling those who believe to be forgiven because he took our place for the punishment (death) that our sins merited.  Thus Paul lays out the foundation of the points he will be making as the chapter unfolds concerning the necessity and implications of the Resurrection.
