Christ Rising, bronze statue
by Frederick Hart, 1998 |
1 Corinthians Chapter 15 is all about death and resurrection - something we have spending much time reflecting on in the church in the last few weeks. The folks in the church at Corinth had many questions about resurrection: does it exist, how are the dead raised, what is a resurrected body like? St. Paul uses many different forms of argument to convince the Corinthian church that believers will be raised from the dead. In today's reading we hear his analogy argument. Just as seeds die and new body grows out of the earth, and just as there are earthly and heavenly bodies, so too our earthly bodies will die and become a kind of heavenly body.
The great 50 Days of the Easter Season are a time to continue reflecting on the mysteries of Christ's death and resurrection. What questions do you have? What images or pictures of resurrection do you find helpful?
