The Resurrection Questions (37 of 40)
Series: 1 Corinthians - And You Think You've Got Problems

1 Corinthians 15:29-49
Now, how many in this room have ever been questioned by an attorney, anyone? You may not want to say. Questioned by an attorney? How many of you ever served on a jury? All right. Anytime you go for jury duty you get questioned by the attorneys, and you're always thinking, I hope I get the question wrong so I can go home. Not really but sometimes. We had a great, great deacons' retreat last weekend. And Philip Cockrell, who's our deacon chairman, is an attorney.

''No.'' ''So then it's possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?'' ''No.'' ''How can you be so sure, doctor?'' ''Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar! ...
