Key Text: 1 Corinthians 15:3-5
For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve.
Theme:
When all is said and done, the part of religion that really matters is the fact and meaning of Christ’s death. The Cross must be the very core of our faith and preaching. It is not without significance that the Cross has become the universal symbol of Christianity. Nor should we overlook just how central a role the message of the Cross played in the ministry of the Apostles. The Cross is the core.
Application:
Have you surveyed the wondrous cross? You are not a Christian until you have seen the cross and understood its message. You cannot be a disciple unless the cross stands at the center of who you are and what you believe.
