False teachers had attempted to draw away the Christians at Corinth trent the tree tattle They had attacked the doctrine of the reeurreetion and Paul defended the truth with vigor and candor. It Christ did not rise from the dead, the hopes of the Christians were baseless. Tbey who Professed to be saved from their sins were still bound by Sin. The apostle rises to a pitch of triumph when he says, "But now is Christ risen front the dead, and become the first fruits of them that slept," Jesus lives to comfort His followere and to put dowel all His enemies. Jesus reigns and will continue to reigu until even the last enemy, which is death, shall be conquered, and God shall "be all du all," The hope of this glorious tonsuramation was au inspiration to Paul in all his ministry, as It is to all or God's people everywhere, in all ages. There are trials and rebuffs that •afflIct the Christian, but he is certain of his present acceptance with God and assured that he will at some thue enter into the presenee of God to go no more Mat forever. He is Mad to join with the apostle in his 'words, "Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Sums Christ" (1 Cor. 15-57). QUESTIONS -By whom were the words of the lesson written? To whom were they addressed? What were the principal truths that Paul preached to the Corinthians? What Old Testament scriptures declare that Christ should suffer death for our sins? Quote an end Testament pro- phecy that Christ should rise from the dead. Name the six appearances of the risen Lord mentioned -in the lesson. Where did Paul rank among the apostles? Why? 'Where did he rank among them in labor? PRACTICAL SURVEY. Topic-Eetellished truth. I. The basis of Christianity, II. The basis of living faith, T. The basis of Christianity. In this chapter Paul writes as theologian of the resurrection. In oppoeition to the false teaching which had crept into the Corinthian charcla the apostle maintained that the fact of Christ's resurrection was the basis of Christian faith, hope and practice. The results of false teachinga were obvious to Paul. In his exposition and defence of the resurrection he esserted it as an established, signifi- cant and influential fact. He preached it convincingly, scripturally end 'lumber. He laid stress upon the death of Christ as the propitia- tion for sin, and on the resurrection as the demonstration of the efficacy el lits death. The resurrection was the disputed and meet vital question. Aprli 23, 1910. Lesson iv. The Risen (Ihrist-..-Easter Lesson. -1. lath/ens 16: 1. 28.
