Day 2: Just as Scripture said
After removing Saul, He made David their king. God testified concerning Him: ‘I have found David son of Jesse, a man after My own heart; he will do everything I want him to do.’ “From this man’s descendants God has brought to Israel the Savior Jesus, as He promised" (Acts 13:22-23).
We thank Thee then, O God of Heav’n,
That Thou to us this faith hast giv’n
In Jesus Christ Thy Son, Who is
Our only fount and source of bliss.
And from His fullness grant each soul
The rightful faith’s true end and goal,
The blessedness no foes destroy,
Eternal love and light and joy.
~Petrus Herbertus ~ pub. 1566
What I [Paul] received I passed on to you. And it is the most important of all. Here is what it is. Christ died for our sins, just as Scripture said He would. He was buried. He was raised from the dead on the third day, just as Scripture said He would be.
He appeared to Peter. Then He appeared to the 12 apostles. After that, He appeared to more than 500 brothers and sisters at the same time. Most of them are still living. But some have died. He appeared to James. Then He appeared to all the apostles. Last of all, He also appeared to me (1 Corinthians 15:3-8 - NIRV).
