This is what I’m saying, brothers and sisters: Flesh and blood can’t inherit God’s kingdom. Something that rots can’t inherit something that doesn’t decay. Listen, I’m telling you a secret: All of us won’t die, but we will all be changed— in an instant, in the blink of an eye, at the final trumpet. The trumpet will blast, and the dead will be raised with bodies that won’t decay, and we will be changed. It’s necessary for this rotting body to be clothed with what can’t decay, and for the body that is dying to be clothed in what can’t die. And when the rotting body has been clothed in what can’t decay, and the dying body has been clothed in what can’t die, then this statement in scripture will happen: Death has been swallowed up by a victory. Where is your victory, Death? Where is your sting, Death? (Death’s sting is sin, and the power of sin is the Law.) Thanks be to God, who gives us this victory through our Lord Jesus Christ! (1 Corinthians 15:50-57, CEB)
All of us won’t die but we will all be changed.
We really don’t know how death and resurrection work.
People say no one has ever come back, which actually isn’t true, Lazarus did and so did Jesus. But Jesus didn’t tell us what happens when we die, he told us the promise that since we will experience a death like his and we are his, we will be raised like him. So, what does that mean?
We will be changed. There will be no decay or death once the kingdom is fulfilled.
We can conjecture all we want about what that means, but we will not know until it happens, and then we won’t care.
Know you will be changed, and trust the process and the promise.
Loving People. Loving God.
