1Co15

Christ is risen! As christians, we celebrate this fact. If Christ is not risen, christians are to be pitied. Since He is risen, we celebrate the reality of Easter and the hope of eternal life!

Paul was not unclear in his teaching on following Christ. We don't follow Jesus to have "our best life now".  We follow Jesus to have the security of eternal life and eternal glory. Faith holds no guarantee for happiness and success in this life. Faith does guarantee joy and reward for all eternity.

Celebrate Christ this week! He is risen. He has conquered sin. He has conquered death. We have full access to God through Him.
