Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Corinthians 15:57

1 Corinthians 15 is a marvellous chapter, where the apostle Paul lays out the transforming power of the resurrection. This chapter is very practical and full of hope.

Where do you find hope when your body is failing? Where do you find hope when your ministry is discouraging? You have been labouring for the Lord. You are faithful to the gospel, but there doesn’t seem to be much fruit, and sometimes you find yourself saying, Is this it?

Where do you find hope when you are grieving the loss of a loved one? There’s an empty chair at the table. You look at her photograph, but you no longer hear her voice. She is gone, and you cannot get her back. You miss her.

Failing bodies. Discouragement in ministry. A loved one we have lost. These are the realities of life, and all of them are directly addressed in this marvellous chapter that is full of hope.

Here’s the message in a sentence: There is hope in Jesus because He died and rose and through the grace He brings, for all who receive and continue in the gospel.

Where do you need hope today? Do you believe that you can find hope in Jesus?
