I Corinthians
15:1,3,4 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached
unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; ... how that
Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried,
and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures. The
Apostle Paul gives us the Gospel of Jesus Christ in just a few words. And the
Gospel is this: the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is as
simple as that. Jesus paid for our salvation with His own blood on the cross of
Calvary. Jesus’ death was foretold in the Old Testament in prophecy. Isaiah
53:5 says that “he was wounded for our transgressions; he was bruised for our
iniquities.” That’s why the phrase “according to the Scriptures” occurs twice
in our verses. The death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus was told about
hundreds of years before it happened! And then it happened just as the
Scriptures said it would. You can trust the Bible and you can trust Jesus as
your Savior!
