In this first section of 2 Corinthians, we can learn a lot from Paul. When his life got tough which, as it turns out, for Paul was pretty often, he drew closer to God and other Christians.

You might say the church in Corinth had a very impractical faith. They had trouble connecting reality with spirituality. As Paul ends his first letter to the church in Corinth he brings up a bunch of very practical stuff. Paul’s spirituality was firmly planted in the real world.

Some of the Corinthians doubted Paul’s teaching regarding the resurrection of the dead, Their objection is not so much that what Paul said wasn’t true, but that it couldn’t be true; it was nonsensical. Paul gives them some illustrations to help them understand a concept which to them was simply not obvious.

“I went to a psychologist friend and said if 500 people claimed to see Jesus after he died, it was just a hallucination. He said hallucinations are an individual event. If 500 people have the same hallucination, that’s a bigger miracle than the resurrection.” (Lee Strobel, The Case for Christ)
Christ’s resurrection points to our resurrection; our resurrection gives meaning to this present life.
