# 1 Corinthians 15 #soap ## Title: Pass It On ## Scripture: (1 Corinthians 15:3) “For I passed on to you as of first importance what I also received—that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures,” (NET) ## Observation: Paul is passing on an early creed he received from the church. Historical scholars say this creed may have gone back as early as the same year as the resurrection. This was wildly important. Creeds were a way to teach the Gospel in memorable phrases. He was passing on hope to live by. What are you passing on to those around you? We leave a small imprint on everyone we come in contact with. Are people better for having encountered you today? What are you passing on? ## Application: Be a bringer of hope in someone’s life today. Double their joy and cut their sorrow in half. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for being the ultimate source of joy.
