| The Work of Christ |
| “For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures; And that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures” (1 Corinthians 15:3-4). |
| This verse contains three glorious truths: |
| 1. “Christ died.” |
| “God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8). |
| “And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross” (Philippians 2:8). |
| 2. “He was buried.” |
| “He made His grave with the wicked, and with the rich in His death; because He had done no violence, neither was any deceit in His mouth” (Isaiah 53:9). |
| 3. “He rose again.” |
| “Raised again for our justification” (Romans 4:25). |
| The enjoyment of these three wonderful facts, will produce worship, praise, and thanksgiving in our hearts and on our lips. |
