Today we are reading 1 Corinthians 15. In this chapter we read about the resurrection. “I tell you this, brothers: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality. When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” “O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
1 Corinthians 15:50-57 ESV These encouraging words are read many times at a graveside service. What points are most encouraging to you? When you think of loved ones who are in Heaven, who comes to mind first? I think of my parents who died last year and my grandparents. I look forward to the peace and joy of Heaven! May God bless you to live today with eternity in mind. Pastor Tim
