This is Our Gospel

Is it all over when you die? Is physical death the end? In 1 Corinthians 15:1-11, Paul explains is that if Jesus rose from the dead, we will rise, too. That is our hope. That is our message.
In the Roman world, the word “gospel” was used to refer to the good news of the accomplishments or the victories of a king. If a king had won a victory in battle or if he had done something kind for his subjects, messengers would be sent out all over his kingdom to share that good news. Paul took that same word and used it for the Good News of the King of kings and the victory Jesus won for us! Paul saw himself as a messenger of King Jesus, and we should see ourselves in the same way.
