To be sure, there is much to rejoice in throughout scripture. But I rejoice in the clear and simple proclamation of truth found in verses 3 and 4 of today's chapter. "For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the scriptures" Paul wrote to the believers in Corinth. Praise God for these matters of "first importance", the glorious gospel message! These are not just important matters, but the matters of first importance. Our faith rests on the truths they proclaim. One might say that nothing else matters without them. That Christ died for our sins. That Christ was buried and that Christ rose on the third day. Oh, yes, without a doubt, they are the matters of first importance. The matters of utmost importance. Everything else we believe in and teach as Christians is only true because of these truths. May we praise God for these matters of first importance today and each day.
