Psalm 149; 1 Corinthians 15; 1 Corinthians 16

“Then, When Our Dying Bodies

Have Been Transformed Into 

Bodies That Will Never Die.”

Scripture

1 Corinthians 15

⁵³ For our dying bodies must be transformed into bodies that will never die; our mortal bodies must be transformed into immortal bodies.

⁵⁴ Then, when our dying bodies have been transformed into bodies that will never die, this Scripture will be fulfilled:

“Death is swallowed up in victory.

⁵⁵ O death, where is your victory?
    O death, where is your sting?”

⁵⁶ For sin is the sting that results in death, and the law gives sin its power. ⁵⁷ But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Observation

These earth suits that we walk around in are not made to last forever. They are wearing out. We are dying, all of us. Our dying bodies must be transformed into bodies that will never die. 

This is a great passage to read right before I go for a heart Cath procedure. It really is, no kidding! 

Am I worried about dying - Not one bit!

I am way more concerned about living a godly life today than holding on to my life. 

I love how Paul finishes up this chapter, “But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ. So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.”

Application

I will look for opportunities at the hospital to share Jesus.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, You have told me this morning in Your Word to “Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong. And do everything with love.” Help me to do that as I go through this day. May this day be filled with Your Glory and Your Power and be all about You.
