- Versicles from Psalm 118
P: The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous; C: The right hand of the Lord does valiantly. P: I shall not die, but live C: And declare the works of the Lord! - Hymn 341 - Awake, My Heart, With Gladness View
vv. 1-4 - Reading: 1 Corinthians 5:12-20 View
Now if Christ is preached that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen. And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty. Yes, and we are found false witnesses of God, because we have testified of God that He raised up Christ, whom He did not raise up—if in fact the dead do not rise. For if the dead do not rise, then Christ is not risen. And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins! Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable. But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the first-fruits of those who have fallen asleep. - Devotion
