While death is certain for all, most of us prefer to ignore the issue entirely. In this message, Alistair Begg considers the tragedy of dying outside of Christ, the mystery of radical change upon a believer’s death, and the great victory that Jesus accomplished over sin and death. Rather than being consumed, controlled, and constrained by this life, Christians should eagerly await the return of our Savior, who freed us from the sting of death.
51Behold! I tell you a mystery. sWe shall not all sleep, tbut we shall all be changed, 52in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For uthe trumpet will sound, and vthe dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. 53For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and wthis mortal body must put on immortality. 54When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written:
x“Death is swallowed up in victory.”
55y“O death, where is your victory?
O death, where is your sting?”
56The sting of death is sin, and zthe power of sin is the law. 57But thanks be to God, awho gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
