He's the Resurrection, and the Life

"Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?" 1 Corinthians 15:55

I read an article where there were at least 27 people banking on life after death. They’re all members of the Alcor Life Extension Institute, where their bodies are frozen in liquid nitrogen. They’re waiting for science to solve the problem of death. One Alcor member says he plans to try it because, ‘I like living and I don’t want to die.’ Unfortunately for him, the company Chief Executive says, ‘We don’t even know if it will work.’ Good news! It doesn’t matter! Jesus has already overcome death! He rose from the grave with a glorious new body, and all who are faithful to Him will do the same! Christ, and Christ alone, is the only sure thing when it comes to eternal life. Here's our good news: Christians who have died will be raised with transformed bodies, and then we who are living will be transformed so that we will never die. For our perishable earthly bodies must be transformed into heavenly bodies. O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting? (1 Corinthians 15:52-55). There’s no record of Jesus ever preaching a funeral sermon. Know why? Because He’s the Resurrection, and the Life. (John 11:25). He broke up every funeral He ever attended! Death couldn’t exist where He was. When the dead heard His voice they sprang to life! And they will again! No wonder the song writer writes: Celebrate, Jesus, Celebrate!!!

Hope you all had a great Easter celebration and are charged up knowing we have a God who has power over sin & death!!!
