Listen to the Reflection here!
Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 15:3-8, 11
So we preached and so you believe.
Brothers and sisters, I handed on to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures; that he was buried; that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures; that he appeared to Cephas, then to the Twelve. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. After that he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. Last of all, as to one abnormally born, he appeared to me. Therefore, whether it be I or they, so we preach and so you believed.
Questions for Reflection
1. How would you describe the importance of the gospel to your life?
2. What difference does it make that Christ’s death and resurrection fulfilled Old Testament prophecy?
3. How does Christ appear or make Himself known to us today?
