The Mystery of Resurrection
50Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. 51Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, 52in 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. 53For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54But when this perishable will have put on the imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written, “DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP in victory. 55“O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY? O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR STING?” 56The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law; 57but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord.
Paul has a way with words! He explains a mystery so we can understand it!
In a twinkling of an eye, we will be raised and become immortal and we will be with Jesus!
Our sure death was swallowed up in victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!
Paul reminds us to keep working for the kingdom, abounding in work of the Lord!
Don't let Satan convince you otherwise, your work is not in vain. Share the Good News of Salvation through Jesus Christ and unshackle someone from Satan's death grip!
Blessings, David
