John Gill
INTRODUCTION TO 1 CORINTHIANS 15 The apostle, in this chapter, recommends the Gospel, and gives a summary of it, proves the resurrection of Christ, and by various arguments establishes the doctrine of the resurrection of the dead, and answers objections made unto it. He also sets forth the glory there will be upon the bodies of risen saints, and the change that will be made on living ones; and...

And that he was buried,.... That is, according to the Scriptures; for as he died and rose again according to the Scriptures, he was buried according to them; which speak of his being in hell, in "sheol", in the grave, and of his making his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death, Psalms 16:10 and which had their accomplishment through Joseph of Arimathea, a rich man, who begged the...
Matthew Henry
In this chapter the apostle treats of that great article of Christianity—the resurrection of the dead. I. He establishes the certainty of our Saviour's resurrection, ver. 1-11. II.

And that he was buried, This was necessary as a proof of his death, and as the ground work of his rising again. 1Co_15:4.

We must dwell upon these points, for they are the essentials of the gospel.
Charles H. Spurgeon
How that Christ died for our sins according to the scripture; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: There are many passages in the Old Testament which describe the Messiah as dying for sinners, especially the old chapter of Isaiah’s prophecy. There are others that speak of him as being buried, yet not corrupting in the tomb. These were facts...
Charles H. Spurgeon
And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: This is the very keystone of the gospel arch, — the Christ who died on the cross, and was buried in Joseph’s tomb, “rose again the third day according to the scriptures.” This great truth of Christ’s resurrection is so important that Paul dwells upon it at length.
Charles H. Spurgeon
And that he was buried: and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: That grand fact of the resurrection of Christ from the dead is rightly put next to his substitutionary sacrifice, for it is the very cornerstone of our holy faith. It is one of the essential doctrines which must be received by us, for we cannot truly believe the gospel unless we accept the great truth of...
