DAILY READINGS: 2 Kings 14:23 to 15:31; Jer. 50:1-20; Titus 1 to 2:8
And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain. 1 Corinthians 15:37
For a believer, when death comes it is like a seed put into the ground. Within the seed is potential and someday, in God’s own time a new and more glorious body will arise, sinless and deathless. The gloom that sometimes encompasses our soul is lifted when we grasp this truth. It reveals to us the wonders of God’s creative and redemptive powers. Resurrection is and will ever be a miracle of the first magnitude. —Drew Craig
Jesus is coming! The dead shall arise,
Lov’d ones shall meet in a joyful surprise,
Caught up together to Him in the skies,
Jesus is coming again. —James McGranahan
