The Cross Before Me | Pastor Craig Rice | March 31st, 2024
bible reading: 1 Corinthians 15:42-44
42 It is the same way with the resurrection of the dead. Our earthly bodies are planted in the ground when we die, but they will be raised to live forever.
43 Our bodies are buried in brokenness, but they will be raised in glory. They are buried in weakness, but they will be raised in strength.
44 They are buried as natural human bodies, but they will be raised as spiritual bodies. For just as there are natural bodies, there are also spiritual bodies.
devotion:
In his letter to the Corinthians, Paul speaks of the resurrection with hope and certainty. Our earthly struggles are not the end; we will be raised in glory and strength. As we close this week's reflections, focus on the new life that is yours through Christ's resurrection. In Him, you are made new, equipped to overcome and flourish for His glory.
Question for reflection:
How does the reality of the resurrection shape your perspective on life, and what changes can you make to live more fully in the newness Christ offers?
