The Planting

Read 1 Corinthians 15:42-53

"We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed." —1 Corinthians 15:51

Reflection of Tommy:

Recent statistic shows that most healthy men will lives up to 71 years old while women 76 years old. Our body and its functions will deteriorates as we grow older each year. And there is absolutely nothing that we can do to stop this natural process. We may slow it down but eventually our current earthly body will fails.

Apostle Paul in his letter to the Corinthian church described vividly how and what will happen when we as believer dies. Instead of being fearful of aging, it gives us the hope and confidence that we will be raised just like Christ when we die and be given a new 'incorruptible' and glorified body (v52).

Dear Father, thank You for the victory we have over death through Christ. Thank You for the promised renewed, changed and glorified body like Jesus when He returns. Keep my heart and mind always on the things that are eternal and to walk ever closely to You daily. In Jesus' Name I pray, Amen.
