1 Corinthians 15:12-20
Theme: "If Christ has not been raised, your belief is useless"
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, today, Paul still on the Resurrection: Paul challenges those who deny the resurrection of the dead by emphasizing that if there is no resurrection, then Christ was not raised, making faith and preaching meaningless. Without Christ’s resurrection, believers are still in their sins, and those who have died in Christ are lost. Paul states that if hope in Christ is only for this life, Christians are to be pitied. However, he affirms that Christ has indeed been raised, becoming the first of all who have died.
Summary: Paul asserts that without the resurrection, faith is futile, but affirms that Christ has been raised, offering hope for all who have died in him.
Luke 8:1-3
Theme: "The women who accompanied Jesus"
In the gospel reading of today according to Luke, Jesus and His Followers: As Jesus traveled through towns and villages proclaiming the Good News, he was accompanied not only by the Twelve apostles but also by several women. These women, including Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Susanna, had been healed by Jesus and supported his ministry through their own resources.
Summary: Jesus traveled with his apostles and a group of women, who had been healed by him and supported his ministry financially.
