READ: 1 Corinthians 15:29-34

The resurrection calls us to a life marked by holiness and mission. Therefore, we can devote ourselves to honoring the Lord, personally and missionally.

* Through a series of rhetorical questions, Paul was saying that there was no purpose and meaning to participating in mission and the hardships that come with it, if Christ was not raised. Conversely, this implies that Christ's resurrection makes living our going and mission and living our lives for God purposeful and meaningful.
