The Last Word

Bible in a Year : Psalms 146–147; 1 Corinthians 15:1–28

If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied. 1 Corinthians 15:19

Her name was Saralyn, and I sort of had a crush on her back in our school days. She had the most wonderful laugh. I’m not sure whether she knew about my crush, but I suspect she did. After graduation I lost track of her. Our lives went in different directions as lives often do. 

I keep up with my graduating class in some online forums, and I was intensely sad when I heard that Saralyn died. I found myself wondering about the direction her life had taken over the years. This is happening more and more the older I grow, this experience of losing friends and family. But many of us tend to avoid talking about it.

While we still sorrow, the hope the apostle Paul talks about is that death doesn’t have the final say (1 Corinthians 15:54–55). There is something that follows, another word: resurrection. Paul grounds that hope in the reality of the resurrection of Christ (v. 12), and says “if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith” (v. 14). If our hope as believers is limited to this world only, that’s just a pity (v. 19).

We will one day see those again who have “fallen asleep in Christ” (v. 18)—grandparents and parents, friends and neighbors, or perhaps even old schoolyard crushes.

Death doesn’t get the last word. Resurrection does.

By:  John Blase

Reflect & Pray

What does Christ’s resurrection mean to you? How might you express your faith and point someone to the hope of the resurrection?

Jesus, may the power of Your resurrection become more and more evident in my life. May it be clear in my words and actions, especially as I interact with those who do not know You.

OK, listen up!:

Every year and usually a few days before Labor Day, I smell when Autumn arrives.

This year it happened a few days late.....today. Be advised that Autumn has arrived in Houston today!

My nose is never wrong! ;-)

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...hope you had some riding weather. Maybe some hiking weather, too. Gotta get Penny back in shape after a summer on the porch, soaking up the sun.

We got about an hour of good rain. Hope the fires got lots of it.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, mountainlion...I have noticed the dark coming sooner. Hope your days get a little cooler so you can sleep.

Our days are finally back down into the 60s with nights getting into the 40s.
