1 Corinthians 15:55 (NIV)
55 “Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?”
Where, O death, is your sting?”
Death is the most democratic experience in life for we all
participate in it. We think of its happening only to other people. We don’t
like to grow old and we don’t like to die. The Bible teaches that death is an
enemy of man and God. But it also teaches that this enemy, death, will
ultimately be destroyed forever; that in fact it has already been defeated at
the cross and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Death, for a Christian, brings
permanent freedom from evil. It also means the believer will be like Jesus. We
shall be like Christ in love. So much of self is involved in what we do here;
but one day, in Christ, we will have perfect love. What a glorious time it will
be when we get to heaven!
Thought for today:
Do I see death as a defeat?
