DAILY?READINGS: Leviticus 5:14 to 6:7; Psalm 105; Acts 27:27-44
The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:56-57
Our sins have been forgiven and the sting of death has been removed. The law that sentenced us to death has been swallowed up in victory (1 Cor. 15:54). Now we anticipate the joyful songs of the believer as we rise to meet the Lord in the air, “But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory.” This is ultimate victory! As we await the day of resurrection, let us be thankful in anticipation of His coming. As we wait for Him may we be “steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord” (1 Cor. 15:58). —Jim Comte
The victory is ours! For us in might came forth the mighty One;
For us He fought the fight, the triumph won: the victory is ours!
— Horatius Bonar
