Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.
In the verse previous to this, Paul says he speaks because he believes.
In this verse, he clarifies that what he believes he knows to be true and then describes that truth as three resurrections.
The resurrection of the Lord Jesus
Who is the first fruit of the resurrection and the assurance of all that is the Christian faith.
The resurrection of himself
Christianity is personal. There is a practical benefit. Why else embrace it?
The resurrection of others
Christianity is personal but quickly becomes communal.
- We are not alone in this world
- We are not alone in our need
- We are not alone as a believer
We do not have to work alone to share our faith with others.
