Death Swallowed in Life - 1 Cor 15: 1-26, 51-57

  The resurrection of Jesus Christ is not something that we talk about enough. We focus more on the forgiveness of sins that comes through the cross, but because of the empty tomb, we have hope in new life. Hope in resurrection.

   Maybe we don't talk about resurrection as much because it's hard to explain. We don't know all of the details, we don't know exactly how it works, so we focus on the cross as the central part of the story of Jesus. But the cross is connected to the empty tomb. You cannot have one without the other.

   The cross and the empty tomb offer us new life, both to come and right here, right now. If we believe in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, they are part of our story. But it's not a story that we can keep to ourselves. We need to go forth and proclaim it.
 
    What can distract us from going forth and telling the story of resurrection?
