The Resurrected Christ 復活的基督

Scriptures: 哥林多前書1 Corinthians 15: 12-26

12But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. 14And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. 15More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead. But he did not raise him if in fact the dead are not raised. 16For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either. 17And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. 18Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost. 19If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are to be pitied more than all men.

20But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. 22For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. 23But each in his own turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him. 24Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power. 25For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. 26The last enemy to be destroyed is death.

Sermon Outline: 講道大綱

  • The bodily (or physical) resurrection of Jesus Christ is the central doctrine of the Christian faith.

耶穌基督身體(或肉體)的復活是基督教信仰的基本教義。

  • The Apostles’ Creed proclaims, “I believe in Jesus Christ… He descended into dead. On the third day he rose again…I believe in… the resurrection of the body”

使徒信經宣告,“我信耶穌基督 ... 死,落陰府。第三天,對死人中
復活 ... ...我相信……, 肉體的復活

  • Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:14 explains, “If Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith.”

保羅在哥林多前書 15:14 便

    從所有其他由鬼門關前走一遭的(瀕 臨死亡)來看,耶穌基督的死而復活是獨一無二的。

  • Christ died for the sins of the world, therefore his resurrection affirms God’s plan of salvation through Christ

 基督為世上(我們)的罪而死,因此祂的復活是上帝透過基督做 
 救贖計劃的確據。

  • The resurrection of Jesus Christ proclaims that final victory is assured over all evil powers, and that death, the last enemy, is conquered.

 復活的耶穌基督宣告,最後必定戰勝一切邪惡權勢。

復活的耶穌基督給了我們 新天和新地"的盼望
