The Cross & Resurrection — Christ Died, Was Buried, and Raised

Today we looked at the foundation of the gospel — the truth Paul says is “of first importance” — found in 1 Corinthians 15:3–4:

📖 “Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
He was buried,
and He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures.”

This is the core of our faith:

✨ Christ died for our sins
Not as a martyr, not as a symbol — but for us, in fulfillment of Isaiah 53:5–6.

✨ Christ was buried
He truly died.
Our old life was buried with Him (Romans 6:4).

✨ Christ was raised
Just as Scripture promised — fulfilling Psalm 16:10 and His own words in Matthew 20:19.
The resurrection is the proof of His victory over sin and death.

💭 Reflection:
– Do I believe Jesus died for my sins personally?
– Am I still carrying what Jesus already buried?
– Do I live today as someone who has been raised with Christ?
– What area of my life needs resurrection hope?

Let this truth settle in your heart:
“The gospel is not just how you were saved — it’s how you live every day.”
