him; let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation.”

the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he

them; he rescued them from the grave. Let them give
thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful

Easter Lesson from the Epistles - 1 Corinthians 15:20-26
Cong.: 1 Cor 15:55-57 “Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?” The sting of death is sin,

He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Pastor: How does Christ’s resurrection benefit us?
Cong.: First, by his resurrection he has overcome death,
so that he might make us share in the righteousness

resurrection is a sure pledge to us of our blessed resurrection.
