BODILY RESURRECTION In I Corinthians 15:12 Paul, being moved by the Holy Ghost, said: “Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?” Even in those days there were people saying that there was no bodily resurrection. It was only His spirit which rose from the grave! Listen Christians, when the body dies the soul and spirit leave. The only part which is buried is the body. The Bible tells us in II Corinthians 5:8 to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Therefore, the word resurrection only applies to the body. It was the body of Christ which was nailed to the cross; His body was laid in the tomb. It was His body which arose. He told Thomas in John 20:27: “Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.” Christianity is the only religion in the world which has a resurrected Saviour. It is He who is our leader and guide. He lived; died, was buried, resurrected, and He is now alive forevermore! And furthermore, because He lives we shall live also. Paul told the Corinthians: “But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not. For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.” Now ladies and gentlemen, any gospel that has Jesus left on the cross, or left in the tomb, is incomplete. In order to fulfill the gospel, there must of necessity be three points. The first being, Christ died. The second being, He was buried. And the third being, He physically, bodily resurrected. Without all
DR. CHARLES SMITH MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH three points, you have nothing. Those three points are pictured again during baptism. It pictures the death, burial, and resurrection. Without the bodily resurrection of Christ you have no gospel because verse 17 states: “And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.” You might argue that it was His blood which cleansed you of your sins. Yes, but Paul said without the resurrection you are still in your sins. The reason is simple. The blood which Jesus shed on the cross must of necessity be carried by a high priest into the holy of holies, in the presence of God and there be offered on God’s altar in heaven (Revelation 11:19). The only way to get to heaven to do that was for Christ to bodily resurrect and offer His own blood. He told Mary Magdalene: “Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father...” He had a job to do. If His perfect blood was shed on the cross and never offered as a sacrifice there would be no forgiveness of sins. However, it was offered and once offered it was offered for all forever! The Old Testament tells us what had to be done. Aaron, a high priest, would take the blood of a sacrificial lamb and once a year enter in behind the veil. There on the Mercy Seat he would apply the blood for an atonement of sins of the people. Without that offering the sacrifice was not complete and there was no forgiveness. Likewise, if there were only two parts to the gospel of Christ, the death and burial, and there was no offering of His blood, there could be no forgiveness of sins. If Christ be not risen who do you think would be worthy to offer His blood? Thank you Lord for the resurrection.
