1 Corinthians 15:20-22 (NIV)
20 But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the
first fruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21 For since death
came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a
man. 22 For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.
Being eternal is nothing new. Being like Jesus completely,
eternally, will be new. But when the moment of glory hung in the balance as
Jesus was revived from his death sleep, we too were given the assurance that
death no longer claims us. The only death that really matters is our death to
sin in baptism with Jesus. If we have shared in that death, we will most
certainly share in his resurrection (see Romans 6:1-14).
Thought for today:
Do I give thought to and prepare for my spiritual future?
