In Christ All Will Be Made Alive

Date: Apr. 6, 2023

Passage

1 Corinthians 15:20-28

20 But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21 For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ. 24 Then comes the end, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power. 25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death. 27 For “God has put all things in subjection under his feet.” But when it says, “all things are put in subjection,” it is plain that he is excepted who put all things in subjection under him. 28 When all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will also be subjected to him who put all things in subjection under him, that God may be all in all.

Key Verse: 1 Corinthians 15:22

For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.

After pondering a world and a faith with no resurrection, Paul declares that Jesus Christ was indeed raised from the dead. That is truly good news to a world full of dead and dying people. Not only so, Jesus is the firstfruits of the resurrection, which means that others will follow. Death came by one man, Adam; resurrection comes by one man, Jesus Christ. A Christian—that is, one who belongs to Jesus—will rise to be with him forever. Praise and thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!

Jesus reigns over all his enemies and will destroy all evil powers, including death itself. This authority was given to him by God our Father. Though Jesus is one in essence with God the Father, he remains eternally the Son of God, in submission to the Father. God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit reign over all forever and ever. Amen!

Prayer: Prayer: Father God, in Adam I was lost in my sin without hope and I must die someday. But you have given me eternal life, hope and purpose in Christ. Now I belong to Jesus as your child, servant, and disciple. By your promise and through your Spirit, I am

One Word: One Word: I am alive in Christ!
