Which chapter of the Bible is called the Great Resurrection chapter?
First Corinthians chapter 15 is the Great Resurrection chapter. In it Paul writes that Christ was raised from the dead and was seen by over 500 brethren at once, then by James, then by all the apostles, and last of all by Paul himself.
Les explains that 1 Corinthians chapter 15 is the Great Resurrection chapter because Paul has just made mention that Christ had been raised from the dead. The chapter records that Christ was seen by 500 brethren at once, the greater part of whom remained when Paul wrote, afterward by James, then by all the Apostles, and last of all by Paul as one born out of due time. Les also notes that Paul's phrase describes him spiritually as a preemie, miscarriage, or aborted one, because he came on the scene before the due time for the nation of Israel as a whole, serving as a sampling of Israel's future sudden conversion as he was on the road to Damascus.
