Christ Is Indeed Risen From The Dead | 1 Cor. 15:12-20
In Luke’s gospel lesson for today we have his version of the BEATITUDES. It gives us Jesus’ advice for living a “blessed” life. When we greet one another and say, “Have a BLESSED day” are we making a statement about Christ’s Easter resurrection miracle?
“Goodness without Godliness” is how a lot of people live. They believe being a good person and doing good things in life will somehow make them right with God. Where does that thinking leave them?
The Bible says: “faith without works is dead.” It also says: “without faith it is impossible to please God.” Are those two truths contradictory?
In our baptism we bury our sins every day with Christ so that as He rose from the dead, we too, might walk in newness of life. Discuss how leaving all our sins and failures in an empty tomb is the only way to live the BEATITUDE (blessed) life.
