1 Corinthians 15:55

1 Corinthians 15:55 (NIV)

“Where, O death, is your victory?  Where, O death, is your sting?”

If you’ve ever been to a funeral where there were shouts of joy and dancing, this may sound confusing.  However, for the believer, it’s a celebration.  Yes, it’s always sad to lose a loved one, but the Word of God says that we are blessed if we die in Him, for we rest from our labor.  If you think about it, it’s a taunt to the enemy of our souls, who thinks that death is the end of everything.  No, my brother and sister, it’s another plane of existence, as we are transported from life to eternity, to be with the Lord forever.  Hallelujah!  We will bow down with the 24 elders before the throne of God, and be in eternal praise and worship to the One who saved us, healed us, delivered us, and loved us to eternal life with Him. What a glorious day!
