1 Cor 15 - 16 (3rd December) - Junming

1 Cor 15
This chapter talks exclusively about Christ's resurrection. As i was reading it, a thought hit me. While we believe that Christ died for us, do we all really believe that he resurrected, and that he is alive and always with us? Maybe we all heard it too much and might have taken it for granted, or it's a fact that was drilled into us.

But do we all understand it with our mind and believe it with our soul that Christ is resurrected and alive in us? Take some time to ponder about it. In any case, Paul mentioned that if Christ wasnt resurrected, the christian faith would be dead. And since all of us believe, we all ought to know that we are bound for heaven as well=)

If Christ was to come back today, now, how would we feel? Will we feel happy that we'll be going to paradise or will we feel sad that we will have to leave this world and everything else that we have here? Be prepared for that day. Start building your treasures in heaven. To quote from Nick Vujicic, happiness built on temporary things will be temporary.

1 Cor 16
Paul talks about some personal matters with the Corinth church. But he leaves them with some advice.

v13-14 ''Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong. Do everything in love.''

That was important enough to be left in the conclusion. Let us always bear that in mind. To always be alert and rooted in Christ. Most importantly, let all our daily activities be driven by love. Be it God's love for us, our love for God, or our love for God's people.
