We
Will Not All Die
Listen, I will tell you a mystery! We
will not all die, but we will 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 will be changed. For this
perishable body must put on imperishability, and this mortal body must put on
immortality. When this perishable body puts on imperishability, then the
saying that is written will be fulfilled: "Death has been swallowed up in
victory." "Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?" The sting of
death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
1 Corinthians
15:51-56
We will all face death some day. There
will be a day when the bells of the church toll for you, and me. But if we are
believers in the gospel, news of death does not need to arouse dread. In fact,
when the bell tolls for a Christian, it announces the good news of Jesus'
victory over death.
Christ's
resurrection is cause for our celebration.
