Today’s Reading: 1 Corinthians 15:50-58
Today’s Verse: O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? 1 Corinthians 15:55 KJV
A mystery can be something not understood. Something that is beyond our understanding.
It can be an unsolved question and an attempt to answer it.
An emotional journey
Many truths, hidden in mystery, are made known.
In the Bible it refers to something hidden. A secret that God has revealed.
They highlight the depth and wonder of God’s plan.
They show the limits of human understanding.
That is why the Father has given us a Word regarding the mystery of death.
He said, “Behold, I shew 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 trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed” (1Corinthians 15:51-52 KJV).
Many will question, “How can we find peace, hope, or joy in dying?
The answer.
Because we know we will see Christ face to face. The One who bled and died for our sins. The One who made it possible for us to have life everlasting.
We find it because we are joined by faith to the God of eternity. The One in which we know we have eternal life (1 Corinthians 15:52,54 KJV).
Death may seize a believer, but it cannot hold him in its power.
The death and resurrection, the sufferings and conquests of the Redeemer has opened the many springs of joy to the saints, and the doors of thanksgiving to God.
That is why believers should be steadfast and firm in the faith of the gospel.
We must stay strong in our hope and expectation of this great privilege of being raised incorruptible and immortal.
Dying is the last shadow of earth’s light before we see heaven’s dawn.
Walk by faith. Abound in the work of the Lord. Always doing the Lord’s service. Always obeying the Lord’s commands.
Defeating the fear of death.
Beyond the sunset when the day is done, there will be a glorious morning with our Savior in Heaven.
Shouting with Victory! Praising all day long.
Let our faith increase in a way that we not only feel safe, but joyful and triumphant.
Now give Him a Hallelujah praise!
He is worthy.
A WORD OF PRAYER
Savior, there will always be something in our lifetime that we do not understand. We all want to know how the story ends. The more we read the Word, the more You give us the knowledge that we need. Thank You for explaining the joy we can feel regarding death. How it is the last shadow of earth’s light before we see Heaven’s dawn. A glorious new beginning with You. What a day of rejoicing that will be.
In Jesus Name We Pray, Amen
