Baptism For the Dead

INTRO: We are commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ this morning. In the past number of years we have been going through 1 Corinthians 15, the resurrection chapter of the Bible. Our subject this morning, in this resurrection chapter of the Bible is found in verses 29 (read). Now, if you were to give a title to the whole chapter of 1 Corinthians 15 it would have to do with the resurrection. 1 Corinthians 15 is the resurrection chapter of the Bible. And as I outline this chapter, verses 1-11 deal with the importance of the doctrine of the resurrection. Then in verses 12-19, Paul refutes the denial of the resurrection. That was a problem in the Corinthian church. Then in verses 20-34 the hope of the resurrection is restated. Last, in verses 35-50, the manner of the resurrection, which has been questioned is explained.
