1 Corinthians 15:12-20 The Risen Christ, Our Hope12 Now if Christ is preached that He has been raised from the dead, how do some

among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13 But if there is no

resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen. 14 And if Christ is not risen, then our

preaching is empty and your faith is also empty. 15 Yes, and we are found false

witnesses of God, because we have testified of God that He raised up Christ, whom

He did not raise up—if in fact the dead do not rise. 16 For if the dead do not rise, then

Christ is not risen. 17 And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your

sins! 18 Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19 If in this life

only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable.

The Last Enemy Destroyed20 But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who

have fallen asleep.

Hosea 6:1-3 A Call to Repentance

6 Come, and let us return to the LORD;

For He has torn, but He will heal us;

He has stricken, but He will bind us up.2 After two days He will revive us;

On the third day He will raise us up,

That we may live in His sight.3 Let us know,

Let us pursue the knowledge of the LORD.

His going forth is established as the morning;

He will come to us like the rain,

Like the latter and former rain to the earth.

Even though God had to call the people out and they continued to run away from Him,

yet He continues to give them a hope for the future.

In Hosea 6:3 shows God’s unfailing love as He showers us with blessings if we repent.

Luke 24:1-12 He Is Risen

24 Now on the first day of the week, very early

in the morning, they, and certain other women

with them,[a] came to the tomb bringing the

spices which they had prepared. 2 But they

found the stone rolled away from the tomb. 3 Then they went in and did not find the body of

the Lord Jesus. 4 And it happened, as they

were greatly[b] perplexed about this, that

behold, two men stood by them in shining

garments. 5 Then, as they were afraid and

bowed their faces to the earth, they said to

them, “Why do you seek the living among the

dead?

6 He is not here, but is risen! Remember how He spoke

to you when He was still in Galilee, 7 saying, ‘The Son of

Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and

be crucified, and the third day rise again.’”8 And they remembered His words. 9 Then they returned

from the tomb and told all these things to the eleven

and to all the rest. 10 It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna,

Mary the mother of James, and the other women with

them, who told these things to the apostles. 11 And their

words seemed to them like idle tales, and they did not

believe them. 12 But Peter arose and ran to the tomb;

and stooping down, he saw the linen cloths lying[c] by

themselves; and he departed, marveling to himself at

what had happened.
