Memory Verse:
So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption. It is sown in dishonour, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power (1 Cor. 15:42-43) NKJV .

Jesus Died, Was Buried And Rose Again
1 Cor. 15:1-11
There are some people that have denied the resurrection of Jesus. Pilate even sent soldiers to prevent His resurrection but to no avail (Matt. 27:62-66). The soldiers were offered money to deny Christ’s resurrection (Matt. 28:12-15). But the truth and testimony of the Scriptures is that Jesus died, was buried and rose again to life on the third day. According to Paul, it was not a “secret” resurrection, people saw Him and Paul even saw Him. This is the basis of the believers’ hope of resurrection from the dead, though they die before Jesus comes to take away His own. If Jesus resurrected from the dead, then the power of God that raised Him is still available to raise us up from the dead. We don’t have anything to fear.
Point of Emphasis: Believers resurrection from the dead is based on Jesus’ resurrection.
Prayer Point: Lord, let the power that raised You from the dead quicken my mortal body.

JESUS EST MORT, A ETE ENSEVELI ET EST RESSUSCITE
1CO. 15:1-11
Il y a des gens qui ont nient la résurrection de Jésus. Pilate envoya même des soldats pour empêcher sa résurrection mais cela en vain. (Matt. 27 :62-66). Il fut offert de l’argent aux soldats pour nier la résurrection de Christ. (Matt. 28 :12-15). Mais la vérité et le témoignage de l’Ecriture est que Jésus est mort, a été enseveli et est ressuscité pour la vie le troisième jour. Selon Paul, ce n’était pas une résurrection ‘secrète’ ; les gens le virent et Paul le vit aussi. Ceci est la base de l’espérance de la résurrection d’entre les morts pour les croyants, quoiqu’ils meurent avant que Jésus ne vienne emporter ceux qui sont à lui. Si Jésus est ressuscité des morts, alors la puissance de Dieu qui l’a ressuscité est encore disponible pour nous ressusciter des morts. Nous n’avons rien à craindre.
Point essentiel : La résurrection des croyants des morts est basée sur la mort de Jésus.
Axe de prière: Seigneur, que la puissance qui t’a ressuscité des morts stimule mon corps mortel.
