1 Corinthians 15:20-22 (CEV)
But Christ has been raised to life! And he makes us certain that others will also be raised to life. Just as we will die because of Adam, we will be raised to life because of Christ. Adam brought death to all of us, and Christ will bring life to all of us.
The Resurrection is the fufillment of Christ’s love for us. The heart of Jesus pierced on Calvary is our covers us with the blood of salvation. The warmth of Christ’s love touches the loose ends of our lives and says, “peace be still”. Christ has died for us and we want to be with him forever. Christ’s love of the Father, even to death on the cross, promises a stake in heaven when we own Christ’s death. The Cross and Resurrection of Christ became our salvation and our foothold in heaven. The crown of thorns was curse spoken to Adam for his disobedience in Genesis 3:17-18 NIV, To Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat from it,’ “Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life. It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field. Jesus’ bloodshed from the crown of thorns and the thirty-nine lashes freed us from sin. The blood of Christ strengthens me, protects me, covers me and provides for me.
