II Read
(Say it)
MI-1: Jesus conquered death, (v35-49, 51-52)
I Explain: so securing you a new body
A. Paul expects a cynic (that he calls v36a “foolish”) to ask…
1. v35 “How are the dead raised?
With what kind of body will they come?”
B. Paul says We get a better body!
(Subpoint 1)
1.
He answers the 2nd by three illustrations: agriculture, creatures, and heavens
a. Seed: seed die in the ground, producing a crop (according to God picking
b.
Creature: creatures come in many different forms
c.
Heavens: come in different glories son, earth, starts, and moon.
2. v42-44 “So will it be with the resurrection of the dead.
The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; 43 it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; 44 it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body.”
a.
Like seed we must die, creature a different body of God’s choosing.
i.
And like the heavens it will be greater in glory.
C. Paul gives us the origin and order of the new body.
(subpoint 2)
1.
New bodies Origin: v45 says life came from man but eternal life by Jesus
2. New bodies Order: v46 says we inherit resurrected bodies after this body
3. New bodies Likeness: v47-49 the new body will be in the image of Jesus.
a. Holy, pure, undefiled, Conquerors, united to God, at peace with God.
b.
According to v51-52 we will be changed in a flash at the last trumpet.
II Illustration
A. Like caterpillar to butterfly, from crawling (in danger) to flying (above)
MI-2: Jesus conquered death, (v50, 53-56)
I Explain: Our finite bodies need Jesus.
A. Why finite?
These bodies are perishable (subpoint 1).
1. v50, 53“flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable…For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality.”
2. Your flesh and blood (you as dust) cannot inherit the kingdom God.
a.
Our bodies are finite, nothing in self is able or capable, to resurrect.
i.
There is no method great enough (baptism, membership, confirmation)
ii.
No emotion powerful enough (regret, anger, love) that will move God!
B. Why finite?
These bodies are under oppression.
(Subpoint 2)
1. v54 “When…clothed with…imperishable, and…immortality, then…“Death has been swallowed up in victory.”
55“Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?”
2. Paul explains v56 “sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.”
a. Paul’s saying sin caused death.
Why is sin so bad?
It is disobeying God.
i.
How is it disobeying God? “5 For when we were controlled by the sinful nature, the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in our bodies, so that we bore fruit for death.”
a) God gave law (bible) and we strike at in rebellion
ii.
The law is God declaring what is Holy.
a) Our sinful nature says do not tell me God what to do
01) (for I am equal with you) sin is to go to war with God.
(a) Sin is to thrust the sword through his intestines.
(b) By sin we’re enemies of God, and he’ll destroy his enemies
II Application
A. You have no confidence that you will rise from that grave.
1. Being Moral, soldier, good citizen, hard worker, can’t give confidence.
a. Why? even the best things you do are in there very nature me focused.
i.
This is what sin is.
I sin because I prioritize me.
a) Every person in here is self-centered.
2. Everything I do cleaning the church, haven meal, everything’s for me
a.
Maybe to be liked?
feel good?
feel helpful?

i. Everything we do has a thread of self-focus or agenda.
