Of First Importance
Reading: 1 Corinthians 15:1-11
The opening of 1 Corinthians 15 sees Paul reaffirming the God-declared Good News that he has always preached to this church community. His story is not changing. As Paul begins this account, he affirms the ‘first importance’ of the death and resurrection of Jesus. This is not a fringe or marginal aspect of Paul’s account of God’s activity in our world. Rather it is central that Jesus died and rose again. Neither is this relegated to a spiritual or other-worldly reality. Paul goes out of his way to affirm the historic reality of the resurrection by listing those he knows who openly testify to the resurrection of the Christ.
