I WAS IN PRISON, AND YOU CAME TO ME (Matthew 25:36c)
"My testimony to my Christian Brothers and believers in Jesus Christ our
Savior. I want to thank the Lord for saving me from the life I was once
leading. First of all, I was living in darkness and I thought that I truly
loved the way I was.

1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the
LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall
not eat of every tree of the garden? 2 And the woman said unto the serpent,
We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: 3 But of the fruit of
the tree which [is] in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not
eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. 4 And the serpent said
unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 5 For God doth know that in the day
ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods,
knowing good and evil.

In chapter 15, Paul declares the Gospel of
Jesus Christ. What is this Gospel? It is the power by
which man is saved. The Gospel itself is that Christ
died for our sins, according to the Scriptures, and was
buried and rose again on the third day. The word Gospel
means "good news." What better news could be brought to
mankind than that Christ died for the sins of the world,
that He conquered death, hell and the grave, and is now
seated at the right hand of the Father making
intercession for His own?
In this chapter Paul also deals with the
resurrection of Christ. We must remember that the Greeks
did not believe in the resurrection of the dead. When
Paul preached the resurrection at Athens, some of the
people actually laughed at him (Acts 17:32).
The Greek philosophers taught that the body was
the prison of the soul, and that the sooner the soul was
set free in death, the better off the man would be. They
looked upon the human body as a source of weakness and
wickedness. They could not conceive of wanting to dwell
in that body after death. Paul gives several proofs of
the resurrection of believers in verses 1-34. He gives
historical proof (verses 1-11); personal proof (verses
12-19); doctrinal proof (verses 20-28); and practical
proof (verses 29-34).
In verses 35-49 Paul explains the process of the
believer's resurrection. He then deals with the second
coming of Christ (verses 50-58) and what it means to
both the living and the dead. "We shall not all sleep,"
Paul says. The saints who are alive when Christ returns
will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air. "But we
shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of
an eye." The Christians who have already died will be
called forth out of the grave. This mystery concerns the
Rapture of the church. When Christ returns, the dead
shall be raised first; the living will then be caught up
with them, and all will be changed to be like Christ.
Hallelujah what a Saviour!
