The Gospel Proclaimed

Apr 6, 2026    Bishop Calvin M. Hooper

Reading: 1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Isaiah 53:4-6


Devotional: The gospel is not a human invention but a divine revelation delivered and received. Paul emphasizes that Christ's death "for our sins" distinguishes His sacrifice from every other death in history. While many have died nobly, only Jesus died substitutionally—taking your place, bearing your judgment, paying your debt. His death was not accidental but according to the Scriptures, fulfilling God's eternal plan. Today, reflect on this truth: your greatest problem is not external circumstances but internal sin that separates you from God. What you could not remedy, Christ accomplished. His death was personal—He died for your pride, your rebellion, your guilt. Receive this gospel afresh today. Let the weight of His sacrifice move you from religious routine to genuine gratitude.
