1Cor 15 Our Father God allowed His precious Son to die, be buried and rise according to the scripture. Without each part the gospel message lacks its truthfulness and power. The preaching of it is without merit and is in vain. The resurrection is proof of the efficacy of Christ’s death but that is not what saves us. The cross was that payment, his death was that which saves. 1Co 1:18 For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

Now by that resurrection power Christ became a life-giving spirit to all who believe. Because of that death, burial and resurrection we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, in the moment, in the blink of an eye, at the last trumpet. This mortality will put on immortality. The Father God’ work of redemption will be revealed as a beautiful tapestry of the image of the one who gave His life.

Beloved, Psalm 139:14 tells us that we are beautifully and wonderfully crafted by Our Father God.  Here’s a question to ponder. Are you, am I, allowing God to fashion his garment upon us so that we may reveal his love and power to those who still walk without the garment of salvation?
