Today is Monday, June 4, 2018. Hi, my name is Adam Burton, and you are listening to The Daily Devo, a short devotional designed to help you apply God's Word to your life. The content comes from the Gospel Project. Take a few moments and read Acts, chapter 23, verses 1 through 24.
The core issue of Paul's trial was the resurrection of the dead, but it wasn't a theoretical doctrine for Paul. The reason Paul was arrested and stood on trial was for his firm belief, his unwavering hope that Christ was resurrected and that Paul and all others who trust in him would also when they be resurrected. It was this resurrection hope that fueled Paul's confidence in Jesus and gave him strength to face persecution, beatings, shipwreck, starvation, and opposition, and it was this resurrection that removed the steam of death and freed Paul from the pressure of preserving his own life. Think about this.
Why do you think the doctrine of the resurrection has carried Christians through difficult times and throughout the centuries? How can the reality of the resurrection help us during our own struggles today? If you are in need of prayer, please get in touch with me. I would love to pray for you.
