Scripture Reading: 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 Christ died for our sins is what the Gospel of God is about. This message of redemption through Christ is what the apostles preached wherever they traveled. The Book of Acts records many sermons by Peter and Paul; the sum and substance of their proclamation focused upon Christ’s death and resurrection for lost humanity. The center of gravity concerning God’s Gospel is Jesus. The Gospel is about God’s grace. What does grace mean to you? Do you stand in awe of God’s grace as you reflect upon Paul’s brief summary of God’s Gospel to the Corinthians? Does the word grace awaken within you a spirit of rejoicing? Have you lost the sense of sin with all its hideousness? Have you lost the sense of grace? Are you conscious that apart from sin, grace has no meaning within this world? When you think upon the Gospel of Christ, are you immediately conscious that the very heart and center of forgiveness focuses upon the Christ as set forth by Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4? Are you aware that God was in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself (2 Corinthians 5:17-19)? Are you mindful that Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection set up a new relationship between God and individuals who respond to Jesus as Lord?
