VICTORY THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST

Passage: 1Corinthians 15:50~58  

Key verse: 57


1. Death has been swallowed up in victory (50-57)

Jesus will come again suddenly, with a trumpet blast. He will come to judge the living and the dead. He will complete his victory, establish his perfect kingdom and reign forever. Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, so we who belong to Jesus must be changed. We will exchange our perishable bodies for imperishable, glorious ones, and we will reign with him forever. How foolish it is to put one's hope in the world or in the flesh!

2. Therefore, let nothing move you (58)

There is no defeat in Jesus. When he comes in glory, he will totally destroy our great enemy Satan, who rules with the power of sin and death. Sometimes we are discouraged because of our own failures and sins. But there is no defeat in Jesus. We may lose a few battles, but the war is already won. God gives us victory in Jesus.


Prayer: Lord, help me to give myself fully to your work, for I know that only what I do for you will last.

One Word: Jesus gives victory
