Proff [1Corinthians 15]

I have given enough proff of my devotion to the French people,thus spoke
Napoleon.The apostle Paul's apostolic position was under attack,and so he writes to the church in Corinth,to refute false apostles, who were attacking him. He wrote how he lived among them,he did not sponge of them,he
points to the suffering he had experience in the service of Christ. [ 1Cor 11]
It was vital that his calling as an apostle was not undermined,if it was ,then  the word of God could have been . You want proff of my calling consider the following,my life ,my suffering,are they not evidence.When Jesus was being attacked as He often was,He said believe on the evidence of My miracles  [ John 14 v11].The crowning proff of who Jesus was,was His resurrection,if He had not risen from the dead, He would have been seen as a fraud.[1 Corinthians 15 v 17]. After His resurrection He was seen by hundreds of people [1 Cor 15v6]is that not proff enough, as to who He really was?.From that vantage point we can look back ,and see the OT scriptures totally fulfilled ,in His birth,ministry,and His suffering.
                                A  prayer.
Dear God open our minds and our hearts to believe in Christ,who by His
works,His life,His death, and resurrection, proved beyond a shadow of a doubt ,that He was and is the Saviour of the world,we ask this in His name.Amen.
