The Day Of Resurrection

Hello! and happy good weekend to all of us, GUYS.  Our "daily bread" this Saturday:

THE GOOD NEWS (17 September 2016)

"This I say, brothers: Flesh and blood cannot share the kingdom of GOD; nothing of us that is to decay can reach imperishable life.  So I want to teach you this mystery: although not all of us will die, all of us have to be transformed, in an instant, at the sound of the trumpet.  You have heard of the last trumpet; then in the twinkling of an eye, the dead will be raised imperishable, while we shall be transformed.  For it is necessary that our mortal and perishable being put on the life that knows neither death nor decay.

When our perishable being puts on imperishable life, when our mortal being puts on immortality, the word of Scripture will be fulfilled: Death has been swallowed up by victory.  Death, where is your victory?  Death, where is your sting?

Sin is the sting of death to kill, and the Law is what gives force to sin.  But give thanks to GOD who gives us the victory through CHRIST JESUS, our LORD.

So then, my dear brothers and sisters, be steadfast and do not be moved.  Improve constantly in the work of the LORD, knowing that with HIM your labor is not without fruit." - 1 Corinthians 15:50-58 

JESUS CHRIST's Resurrection

(Flesh and blood cannot share the kingdom of GOD; nothing of us that is to decay can reach imperishable life.  It is the opposition between what can only rot and decompose, and the definitive, unaltered which is proper to the world where GOD is [Romans 8:21].  Life has its logic: persons who have chosen to empty the present life hardly believe in that other world.

Not all of us will die.  Paul thinks that CHRIST is to return soon.  On this supposition, he says that those who are alive when CHRIST returns will not have to "travel" with HIM to Heaven [that would be a materialist image], but will be transformed.  Resurrection is not simply to live again as happened to Lazarus.)
