What is of “First Importance” to you?

Paul in speaking of the resurrection of Jesus Christ to the Corinthians said in his letter (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.”
Of First Importance!

Is the resurrection of Jesus Christ of first importance in your life? If it isn’t … or even if it is of “some” importance … today is the day to pray that the Holy Spirit will guide you through the steps it will take to make the significance of our celebration this Easter the most important thing in your life.

Once you have accepted, as Paul is suggesting to the Corinthians, that the resurrection and your reaction to it are the most important thing in your life … you will find all the other “important” things in your life are easier to achieve through Jesus Christ.

Hallelujah … He Is Risen!
