CHRIST’S VICTORY OVER DEATH
LESSON TEXT; I Corinthians 1*:41-58,
GOLDEN TEXT: Thanks be to God. which
giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus
Christ. —I Corinthians 15:57.
"If there be no resurrection of the
dead, then is Christ not risen: and
if Christ be not risen, then is our
preaching vain, and your faith is
also vain” (I Cor. 15:13, 14).
In other words, the truth of the
resurrection is an indispensable
foundation stone upon which the
structure of Christian doctrine rests.
Beware of those who would spiritu
alize or explain it away!
The facts are there—fully proved
and dependable; there is no need
for doubt or question.
In our lesson we And:
I. The Great Change (vv. 41-50).
Since it is obvious that our present
bodies are not suitable for the spir
itual world (v. 50), and that there
comes, sooner or later (and al
most always, it seems, too soon!),
an end to their existence, there
must be a radical transforming
change. This takes place in the
resurrection of the body.
To make such a blessed—and to
the human mind, almost inconceiv
able—truth clear, Paul uses the ef
fective method of comparison and
contrast. Following his skillful use
of the illustration of the sowing of
grain, which dies that it may live
again (I Cor. 15:35-39), he gives us
a picture of the resurrection body.
That which we must put away in
the silent earth at the end of life’*
day is a natural body, weak and lack
ing eternal glory (v. 43). It has al
ready shown the evidences of decay
and corruption, which we know shall
be completely manifested in a short
time. Marvelous as it has been as
an earthly body, it cannot go with
us into eternity (vv. 47, 48), for it
is natural and not at home in the
spiritual world.
Note, then, the great change that
takes place. In the resurrection, the
body for the eternal activity of the
believer stands out as in
corrupt and incorruptible, powerful,
spiritually quickened, and heavenly.
What more could be said?
Here we stand amazed and at the
same time encouraged by the reve
lation of what God has in store for
us who believe on Christ. Death
does not end all—it is only the be
ginning of real fullness of life and
usefulness for the Christian.
And all that is because of—
-11. The Great Victory (vv. 51-57).
Death is an enemy, indeed man’s
great enemy. There are those who
have tried to deny that fact, to ex
plain it away. They talk about death
as “the great adventure,” etc., but
when one actually comes to face it,
the truth is realized. It is an enemy.
But in Christ, death is a con
quered enemy. The blessed mes
sage of Easter day is that “death
is swallowed up in victory” (v. 54).
Death could not hold our Lord (v.
57), and He was the “first fruits of
them that sleep” (v. 20). This as
sures us that because He lives, we
too, who believe on Him, shall live.
So death has lost its sting, unci
the grave its victory (v. 56). With
Paul we cry out today from the
depths of our beings, “Thanks be
to God, who giveth us the victory
through our Lord Jesus Christ" (v.
57). This is a day of joy, of singing,
of victorious faith.
But the joy of Easter is not sim
ply something to warm one’s heart.
It is—
111. The Great Incentive (v. 58).
Living for Christ and serving Him
in this world is our greatest privi
lege, but we are all so human that
we need encouragement. We need
an incentive.
The Bible speaks much of the re
wards of God to those who are
faithful, and gives many assurances
that we are not engaged in a vain
task. At times it seems as though
men only reject, and the work of
the Lord moves but slowly, if at all.
Let us not be discouraged or dis
heartened. We follow and serve a
victorious Christ, One who has tri
umphed over death and hell. What
we do for Him is never done in vain.
Note the helpful thought here. W*
are to be “unmovable,” and yet
“abounding.” That seems paradoxi
cal, but it is not, for it is only the
life steadfast and unmovable at the
center which can abound at the
circumference.
That center is the resurrected
j Christ, and when we are established
\ in Him, we are ready to live the
I abundant life for Him.
Easter is a glad day for a believ
er. but it is a sad day for the un-
I believer. He may attempt to main
-1 tain an outward appearance of joy,
but he will know in his heart that
the message of the day is definitely
not for him. And yet it is, for today
he may by faith take as his Saviour ;
1 ttie Risen One and enter into full- !
| ness of joy in Him.
So many people "celebrate” Eas- I
ter all their lives, year after year, j
but never truly “keep the feast.” [
May many such friends make this
Easter day, 1944, the beginning of ■
new life in Christ 1
