The Budding of Life Message Summary | 1 Corinthians 15:19–28 | Numbers 17 Central Truth: The resurrection of Jesus Christ confirms that He is God's promised Redeemer, guarantees His victory over death, and gives everyone who belongs to Him a living hope that transforms life today and secures eternal life with Him.
