TRIUMPH OF THE RISING:

New book series from bestselling author John MacArthur on the great chapters of the Bible Taken from the MacArthur New Testament Commentary on 1 Corinthians, this book equips believers with transforming truth by explaining Paul’s treatment of the doctrine of the resurrection.

Chapters include: The Evidence for Christ’s Resurrection The Importance of Bodily Resurrection The Resurrection Plan Resurrection Incentives Our Resurrection Bodies Victory Over Death In 1 Corinthians 15, Paul delivers the most extensive treatment of the resurrection in all of Scripture. As the heart pumps life-giving blood to every part of the body, so the truth of the resurrection gives life to every area of gospel truth. The resurrection is the pivot on which all of Christianity turns and without which none of the other truths would much matter.

Without the resurrection of Jesus Christ, Christianity would be mere wishful thinking, taking its place alongside all other systems of human philosophy and religious speculation. Paul, however, declares that Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, therefore all who are in Christ Jesus will also be raised to life.

OUR SAVIOR WHO PRAYS:

Of all the prayers of Jesus, the one recorded in the seventeenth chapter of John’s Gospel is the most profound and magnificent.

Its words are plain, yet majestic; simple, yet mysterious. They plunge the reader into the unfathomable depths of the inter-Trinitarian communication between the Father and the Son, and their scope encompasses the entire sweep of redemptive history from election to glorification, including the themes of:

• regeneration,
• revelation,
• illumination,
• sanctification,
• and preservation

The veil is drawn back, and the reader is escorted by Jesus Christ into the Holy of Holies, to the very throne of God.
