1 Corinthians 15:51-58 The Mystery of the Resurrection

Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.” “Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. Most people in their heart don't believe in the resurrection, even though they may be Christian. They confuse eternal life as one as life in the spirit and not in the body. Whatever is the state of Jesus will be our state too. Hundreds of persons witnessed Jesus resurrected in the body and he leads the way to what will happen to humanity. That is why in the resurrection, Jesus conquered death. Do we fully understand it? No, but neither do we fully understand how God spoke humanity into being the first time. This is why it is called a mystery. But Christianity is founded on faith, because it is by believing in what one cannot see, that we become redeemed and a part of the family of Christ.
