The Death, Burial and Resurrection of the Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15: 1-18)
We speak wisdom among those who are mature. Not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age but the wisdom of God. This wisdom is a mystery. This wisdom is hidden; hidden not from us, but for us. If it were not hidden, the rulers of this age would not have crucified Jesus. The wisdom of God is seen in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. In the Old Testament era, the wisdom of God was there encoded and can be seen in the life of the likes of Moses, David, Samuel etc.
Moses for example was born in the days when Egypt was hostile to the people of Israel, oppressing them, to prevent them from getting strong enough to oppose Egypt. Every male newborn in those days was to be killed. This in itself is a form of death. At birth, his mother decided not to kill him because he was a goodly child. So she made a basket for him and having protected, she put him in. That is another form of death. Then she left it on the Nile, leaving him to the elements. That represented a form of burial. The daughter of Pharaoh found him and nurtured him in the palace of Pharaoh is a form of resurrection. The reward process of receiving wages for nursing her own child is a reward for the mother of Moses.
The death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ can be seen encoded in the lives of other people such as Samuel, David etc.
Substitutionary Reward of Jesus Christ
Romans 6
If we operate under the law of Sin and death, we are bound to earn something called the wages of sin. Sin has a salary it pays for those that operate under it is; this salary is called death.
1 Corinthians 5:21
For He hath made Him [to be] sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.
In the substitution process of the death, burial and resurrection of Christ, God appointed Jesus that knew no sin to be the sacrificial lamb of sin for us, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. Jesus stood in place of the sacrificial lamb that was killed for remission of the sins of the people of Israel in the Old Testament. Just as this lamb was to be a perfect, spotless lamb, Jesus was perfect and spotless able to make a substitution for our sins and we are here to reap the rewards of being the righteousness of God in Him.
