117 1 Kings 001 – 002; 1 Corinthians 015
When there is a void someone will usually try to fill it. David was nearing his death and there is jockeying for the position of king of Israel. Who will get it? How will it come about?
Nathan the prophet went to Bathsheba with the news that Adonijah was already proclaiming himself as king. If Adonijah became king then it was sure death for Solomon and Bathsheba. Nathan then gave Bathsheba the plan for saving their lives and placing Solomon as the rightful king. The plan worked to a tee. There is negotiating, planning, being wise as a serpent and harmless as a dove, and face to face time. God's will never happens in a vacuum.
Chapter 15 of 1 Cor. is the resurrection chapter. The love chapter is 1 Cor.13, the faith chapter is Chapter 11 of Hebrews, the spirit chapter is Romans 8 and the Jesus as preeminent chapter is Colossians 1. Peruse these chapters and become very familiar with them. The best definition of gospel is right in this resurrection chapter. Maybe you could work on memorizing it. It is I Cor. 15: 3-4. It is the good news for us and for others.

Good morning!
ReplyDeleteJust a question that I have- How do I put together the truth that Christ told the robber next to Him on the cross that "Today you will join me in Paradise" with the verses in 1Cor 15 with the dead rising with the trumpet..... my little brain can't wrap itself around this... Is it just the earthly bodies that rise? Thanks for any help you can provide! :)
