GOSPEL CONNECTION

“For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that
Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4and that He was
buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the
Scriptures, 5and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve…
19 If we have hoped in Christ in this life only, we are of all men most to
be pitied. 20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first
fruits of those who are asleep. 21For since by a man came death, by a
man also came the resurrection of the dead. 22For as in Adam all die,
so also in Christ all will be made alive.” (1 Corinthians 15:3-5, 19-22)
