Sermon Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 15:57

1 Corinthians 15:57 St. Paul speaks in this chapter as if the resurrection of Christ were the victory over the grave. Was it impossible then, for men, before the resurrection of Christ, to look beyond the grave? I. The apostles unquestionably speak of our Lord's resurrection as an unprecedented fact in the world's history. But they say that its importance to human beings lay in this, that it declared Jesus to be the Son of God with power. It was an act retrospective and prospective. It revealed... read more

DISCOURSE: 1995DEATH A CONQUERED ENEMY1 Corinthians 15:51-58. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then... read more

Spurgeon's Verse Expositions of the Bible - 1 Corinthians 15:1-58

1 Corinthians 15:1-58 There were people in the Apostles' days who had an idea that there was no resurrection. Paul endeavours torefute the idea, and teaches the Corinthians that there was a resurrection from the dead. From the 1st to the 11th verse he proves the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and upon that grounds the doctrine of the resurrection of the just. "Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye received, and wherein ye stand: "By which also... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 15:1-58

Let's turn to I Corinthians, chapter 15.The Corinthian church was a real mess. A lot of carnality that led to divisions, a lot of party spirit, a real misunderstanding of the spiritual gifts, a lot of weird concepts. There were some in Corinth who declared that there was no resurrection from the dead, sort of a Sadducean background, perhaps. Paul, having corrected the other problems that they wrote to him about, now finally tackles the final problem of those people who were declaring there is... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 1 Corinthians 15:1-58

1 Corinthians 15:1-2 . I declare unto you the gospel by which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you. We have here an epitome of the whole gospel, comprising essentially the death of Christ as a sacrifice for sin, and his triumphant resurrection from the dead; these are truths which lie at the foundation of all human hope. The promise of salvation so often repeated to sincere and faithful souls, must always be kept in view. Mark 16:16. Romans 1:16. What consolation... read more

1 Corinthians 15:53-57For this corruptible must put on incorruption.The great changeThe apostle presents this--I. As a contrast betwixt what man now is and what he will be.1. Twice over the apostle affirms the change from corruptible to incorruption, and from mortal to immortality; first as a matter of necessity, then as a matter of fact. Four times over, also, he uses the same word, translated “put on,” which means, to “go into,” as into a place of covering or shelter; and hence to go into... read more

1 Corinthians 15:55-58O death, where is thy sting?O grave, where is thy victory? Death in ideaThere are two aspects in which this language might be regarded.1. As the sentiment of the redeemed after the resurrection. Literally, then, death will have lost its sting, and the grave its victory.2. As the expression of an exultant sentiment which the apostle felt even now, and which may be enjoyed by all true Christians. This is the view that we now adopt. Death was to the apostle, as yet, an idea,... read more
