The Program of the Resurrection 1 Corinthians 15:20–28
We’re going to return to 1 Corinthians, chapter 15; 1 Corinthians, chapter 15. This is the great resurrection chapter. Now when we think about the resurrection of the dead we are talking about something that is reality, reality. And I think reality like this, miraculous, transforming reality like resurrection somehow loses its sense of significance in our culture, because we are drowning in a sea of fantasy that is basically depicted for us in very sophisticated ways on television screen and movie screen, things that are not real, cannot be real, do not really happen, cannot happen; people being transformed from one thing to another, when in reality that never happens, until the resurrection. The resurrection needs somehow to rise up in the middle of all the ridiculous fantasy. We need to remember that it is reality. Every human being who has ever lived will be raised from the dead. Some will receive a body fit for hell, and some a body fit for heaven; but all will rise from the dead.
