1 Corinthians 15:12-20
Brothers and sisters: If Christ is preached as raised from the dead, how can some among you say there is no resurrection of the dead? If there is no resurrection of the dead, then neither has Christ been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, then empty too is our preaching; empty, too, your faith. Then we are also false witnesses to God, because we testified against God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if in fact the dead are not raised. For if the dead are not raised, neither has Christ been raised, and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are still in your sins. Then those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If for this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are the most pitiable people of all.
But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
Dawg's thought:
Today's prayer intention is for a friend of mine who is going through a rough time in their marriage.
I apologize once again, but I don't have much time for a reflection. I pray you have all have a safe weekend. Also, please keep this ministry in prayer as well, for strength and perseverance. If any of you would like to take a day, please let me know. Take care and God Bless.
