1 Corinthians 15:36-40Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die.The reproof of scepticismI. Justly severe. “Thou fool.” Because--1. It is opposed to God and Divine truth.2. Is based in ignorance and self-conceit.II. Severely just. Because--1. It ignores the analogy between natural facts, and the higher purposes of God.2. Cannot realise anything beyond the domain of natural sense.3. Denies everything it cannot realise. (J. Lyth, D.D.)From death to lifeThe text may be... read more

1 Corinthians 15:41-42There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon.Degress of glory in heavenI. What this means. That as the Lord has displayed His mercy and His love to holiness, by rewarding a short and imperfect obedience by an eternal glory, so it is accordant with these perfections to confer higher degrees of this glory on those whose obedience has been more constant, and piety more ardent. While we maintain this--1. We allow that all will nevertheless be perfectly happy,... read more

1 Corinthians 15:42-45So also is the resurrection of the dead.It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption. The resurrectionI. Its essential character.1. It is not the work of an age, but of a moment--not a gradual process, but an instantaneous act.2. It is to be distinguished in its nature from--(1) An awakening out of a soul sleep.(2) A clothing of the unclothed spirit.(3) A restoration of our flesh and bone in like form as before.3. It is a work of perfect beauty.II. Its certainty.... read more

1 Corinthians 15:45-50The first man Adam was made a living soul Adam and ChristOr the mystery of life contemplated:--I.In its sources.1. Adam was endued with natural life, Christ with a life-giving Spirit.2. The natural preceded the spiritual.3. The natural is of the earth, the spiritual is the Lord from heaven.II. In its communication.1. From Adam we derive the earthy or natural life, from Christ the heavenly.2. The image of the earthy precedes the heavenly.3. As the earthy body (flesh and... read more

1 Corinthians 15:46Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural.The natural and the spiritualI. The natural precedes the spiritual. This is seen in--1. Nature. Not until the earth was complete did God create man, a spiritual being, “in His own image and after His own likeness,” etc. Thus man stands at the head of the creation. By his physical organisation, which is natural, he is connected with all that is below him. But by his higher nature, which is spiritual, he... read more

1 Corinthians 15:47-49The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. The first and second manI. The first--is of the earth, earthy--consequently--1. Confined to earth.2. Perishes with the earth.II. The second--from heaven, heavenly.1. Rules the earth.2. Opens heaven.3. Lives for ever. (J. Lyth, D.D.)Of the earth, earthyΧοϊκος properly means “clayey,” but is here used to express man’s terrestrial nature. Because he is of the earth in his origin--i.e., as to his... read more

1 Corinthians 15:50-54Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God. Flesh and blood cannot enter the kingdom of GodI. The general law.1. This carries with it its own proof: for, obviously, darkness might as well become light, or death life, as that which is corrupt rise into the incorruptible. On this point St. Paul is earnest and absolute. The exception of 1 Corinthians 15:51 is only an apparent one. Those who are alive when Christ comes will nevertheless be changed (1 Corinthians... read more

1 Corinthians 15:53-57For this corruptible must put on incorruption.The great changeThe apostle presents this--I. As a contrast betwixt what man now is and what he will be.1. Twice over the apostle affirms the change from corruptible to incorruption, and from mortal to immortality; first as a matter of necessity, then as a matter of fact. Four times over, also, he uses the same word, translated “put on,” which means, to “go into,” as into a place of covering or shelter; and hence to go into... read more

1 Corinthians 15:55-58O death, where is thy sting?O grave, where is thy victory? Death in ideaThere are two aspects in which this language might be regarded.1. As the sentiment of the redeemed after the resurrection. Literally, then, death will have lost its sting, and the grave its victory.2. As the expression of an exultant sentiment which the apostle felt even now, and which may be enjoyed by all true Christians. This is the view that we now adopt. Death was to the apostle, as yet, an idea,... read more

40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. Ver. 40. There are also celestial ] Stars and spirits (the inhabitants of that other heaven) I find, saith a divine, like one another. Meteors and fowls in as many varieties as there are several creatures. Why? Is it because man, for whose sake they were made, delights in variety, God in constancy? Or is it because that in these God may show his... read more
