1 Corinthians 15:50-58 (NLT)
Our passage today is a continuation of the spiritual lesson from yesterday about the resurrected bodies that we will one day occupy; a future with immortality. Because of our present human limitations, we look forward to a time when we no longer suffer from those physical, emotional, or mental challenges.
In the meantime, God’s grace is sufficient to carry us through whatever we face while in these mortal bodies. It requires living in the power outflowing Christ’s resurrection; the firstborn of the resurrection. We will explore more about resurrection living in the weeks to come. We need each other as we love one another through our human limitations. Remember, nothing we every do in the name of Christ to share mercy and offer help to one another or further the Kingdom is ever wasted. God sees and knows. He is glorified in our lives when we press on to love him wholeheartedly and love one another.
