The Power Of The Previous

For fifty-seven verses, in 1 Corinthians, Chapter 15, the Apostle Paul shares the truth about the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the impregnable fortress and irreplaceable foundation of Christian faith.  And then, with but one word, “therefore,” in verse 58, he moves from principle to practice, from rhetoric to relevance, from argument to application, from exposition to experience and challenges the Corinthian church to be focused, faithful and fruitful.   We can do this too because of the "power of the previous" as it is embodied in Jesus’s glorious resurrection.
