1 Cor. 15

At nearly every Christian funeral, portions of 1 Cor. 15 are read. This is the Bible seedbed for what happens to us when we die. Above all, we are given hope that this earthly body will have ONLY been for earth, and that we will have a heavenly, imperishable body to live in heaven with.

This is good news. Lately, I have been wearied by the malfunctions my earthly body is experiencing. (I won’t bore you) I look forward to the moment I am “changed.” Those of us who have our ticket stamped for Heaven by believing in Jesus, our Savior, will all be transformed into a Heavenly body that God will give us. No tears, no aches and pains, no bowel disorders, NO CANCER etc. All that will be left behind.

Nevertheless, we plod on and do what we can to prop ourselves up to get a few more miles on the body we’re living in now.
