📖 Devotional 2: “Then Not Even Christ Has Been Raised”

📜 Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:13

“If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised.”

🔍 Explanation:
Paul draws a bold line: if resurrection is impossible, then Christ Himself did not rise. He won’t allow a partial belief. You can't believe in Jesus' resurrection while denying the future resurrection of believers. It’s all or nothing. ⚖️✝️

💡 Personal Application:
You can’t afford a halfway faith. 🚫🌓 If Christ didn’t rise, He is no Savior, and you are without hope. 😔 But because He did, your future is secure. 🔒🌅 Let this truth fuel your worship, your prayers, and your courage. 🙌🙏🔥

🧠 Reflection Questions:

1. 🤔 Have you ever treated the resurrection as a “side issue” in your faith?

2. ❤️ What difference does it make to you personally that Christ truly rose from the dead?

3. 🕊️ How might a deeper conviction in this truth change your attitude toward suffering or death?
