O Death where is thy Sting?

1Co 15:55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

1Co 15:56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

1Co 15:57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

The sting of death, brought to us through sin and rebellion. The sting of death, the one that we must all feel for the sting of death is not for that one that has died, no the sting of death is for those of us that are alive and remain.

The sting of death is our pain, our misery at no time is the sting of death what happens when we die, no it refers to the pain and hurt left behind by those that are left.

Yet we do have the Victory through Jesus Christ. For when He rose out of that grave death was defeated.

When that stone was rolled away, at that moment we were given the Victory. We do not have hope, we have a certainty!

For if Jesus is God, if He died, was buried and rose again, then what we have is not hope but a promise. If the promises of God are immutable, unchanging and ever true then we have of a certainty this promise, that we shall one day, be reunited.

Yet if we are to be reunited, if we are to experience this promise, this reunion does that not mean we Should want every one to go with us? To reunite with us?

1Co 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

Through Jesus Christ we have found our purpose, we have found our way. Through Jesus we have found some meaning in the vastness of eternity.

Be ye stedfast unmovable ALWAYS abounding in the work of the Lord.

The sting of death can not get to you if they know Jesus as you know Jesus. For come that rapture day there will be a reuniting, there will be a day we will see each other again.

We should be working to take all we can to that reunion with us. For truly there is no sting in death, there is sadness but no sorrow in death for we have this promise, this same Jesus will come again!

This promise that there is a new day coming and in that day we shall see them again.
