Absorbing God’s Word
“If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. 14 And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith.” 1 Corinthians 15:13-14
Applying God’s Word
Strong words from Paul. Either Jesus is who He says He is or a liar. If Jesus is a liar, all the preaching between then and now is useless and so is our faith.
We are in that 50-day Easter Season that exists from Easter to Pentecost. The eggs we colored are gone and so are the chocolate bunnies. The Easter baskets are back in a box and up in the attic. Easter is not close to being over, though.
The Easter Season ends with Pentecost Sunday, which is May 20th. Louise and I are reading the Acts of the apostles and 1 Corinthians. We are excited about what’s coming. We enjoyed Easter Sunday, but look forward to the finale; Pentecost.
Accounting of God’s Word
Is Easter over for me? Am I still engaged in the most important Christian Season of the year? Am I looking forward to Pentecost?
