"Christ died for our sins, he was buried, he was raised, he appeared," 1 Corinthians 15:3, 4.
All in accordance with the Scriptures. God had planned all this beforehand, and had talked about it in the Good Book long before the events. First importance. First things first. Foundational. Back to basics. In accordance with the Scriptures. Who saw Jesus alive after he had died? Peter. The Twelve. Five hundred at once. James. All the apostles. (And, Mary. And, Joanna. And, the other Mary. And, Salome. And, the other Galilean women.) And, last of all, Paul. The gospel message: received! The same message, intact: delivered.
We meet with a brother or sister today transformed by the message we heard. And together we give thanks to God for resurrection to the new world.
