Today's scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:50-57
What’s that old saying? “Nothing is sure but death and taxes.”
And yes, death is inevitable … Unless Christ returns, we’ll all die one day. And for some people, death is frightening.
But for those of us who know the Lord, death is merely a graduation. It has no power. It has no victory.
Certainly, when those of us who have accepted the gift of salvation through the death, burial, and resurrection die, we will cease to inhabit our temporary, earthly bodies. But we will not cease exist. Death will not swallow our souls—the essence of who we are.
We will live in heaven with our God—Father, Son, and Spirit. We will serve Him and praise Him throughout eternity.

No. Death is no victor. We serve the One who is stronger than anything—including death.
Praise Him!
