resurrection. I. ITS CAUSE . Christ—the second Adam. Through the first Adam, death; through the second Adam, the resurrection from the dead. We see how much depends upon Christ, how much upon his resurrection. Through him we expect to rise; but if he did not rise, how can we rise through him? "But now is Christ risen," and so our prospect is unclouded. He has passed through the grave to make a way for us. He found the bonds of death strong; we shall find them broken. He lives, and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 15:24-28

Christ resigning his administration. "Then cometh the end," etc. By the "end" here, I presume, is to be meant the redemptive reign of Christ. It means that when Christ, in the exercise of his mediatorial government, has subjugated all the powers of moral evil, he will deliver up his commission to God, who will then be acknowledged as the absolute Ruler of all. The following are some of the truths that the passage suggests:— I. That THE GOVERNMENT OF OUR WORLD IS ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 15:25

He must reign. He must reign in his mediatorial kingdom as the God Man. He hath put. The "he" probably means Christ himself (comp. Psalms 2:9 ; Hebrews 10:13 ), though it makes no real difference in the sense if we understand it of God, as in Psalms 110:1 . read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 15:25

The reign of the Redeemer. Even in his earthly humiliation, Christ was a King. Once the devil offered him the kingdoms of the world; once the people would have taken him by force and have made him their King. Such secular dominion he sought not, neither would accept. Yet he entered Jerusalem in royal state; before Pilate he confessed himself a King; and over his cross it was written, "This is Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews." Little notion had men during his ministry of the nature... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 15:26

The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. This rendering might imply that other enemies should still exist, though Death should be the last who would be destroyed. The original is more forcible, and implies, "Last of enemies doomed to annulment is Death;" or, as in Tyndale's version, "Lastly, Death the enemy shall be destroyed;" or, as in the Rhemish Version, "And at the last, Death the enemy scal be distried." The present, "is being annulled," is the praesens futurascens, or the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Corinthians 15:25

For he must reign - It is fit, or proper (δει dei), that he should reign until this is accomplished. It is proper that the mediatorial kingdom should continue till this great work is effected. The word “must” here refers to the propriety of this continuance of his reign, and to the fact that this was contemplated and predicted as the work which he would accomplish. He came to subdue all his enemies; see –Psalms 2:6-10; or Psalms 110:1, “The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Corinthians 15:26

The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death - The other foes of God should be subdued “before” the final resurrection. The enmity of the human heart should be subdued by the triumphs of the gospel. The scepter of Satan should be broken and wrested from him. The false systems of religion that had tyrannized over people should be destroyed. The gospel should have spread everywhere, and the world be converted to God. And nothing should remain but to “subdue” or destroy death, and that would be... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Corinthians 15:25-27

1 Corinthians 15:25-27. For he must reign Because so it is written, Psalms 110:1; till he God the Father; hath put all enemies under his feet That is, till he hath utterly subdued them to Christ, that he may destroy them. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death That enemy which continues, in some measure, to hold the subjects of Christ under his dominion, even when the temptations of the world, and the malice of Satan, can hold them no longer, and when every remainder of... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 15:12-28

A guarantee of final victory (15:12-28)To those who claim there will be no bodily resurrection of the dead, Paul replies that if this is true it means that Christ has not been raised. In that case the gospel he preaches is not true and the believer’s faith is without foundation (12-14). Furthermore, it means that the preachers of the gospel have misled their hearers. For if Christ has not been raised from the dead, he is certainly not the victorious Saviour. He has not conquered sin; sin has... read more
