Today’s Scripture
1 Corinthians 15:53-55
For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.” “Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?”
Thoughts…
This may sound strange, but one of my favorite new items to get every school year was a lunchbox. I loved it when my mom packed my lunch or better yet, when she let me help pack it. Trying to figure out exactly what would not perish and be protected by my “imperishable” lunchbox. Mom, if you are reading this, I really did try to take good care of them😊
Jesus is like my lunchbox (sorry Mom.) He was the direct opposite of this verse. He was imperishable and became perishable. He was immortal and became mortal. Why did He do this? So we could fulfill this verse. You and I were perishable and mortal. When we give up our former lives and choose to follow Jesus we become imperishable and immortal. Yes, our bodies will age and eventually die, but we will not. We will liver forever and ever in Heaven with Jesus. All because Jesus give up His life for us.
Now, if I could only figure out a way to make my lunchboxes last longer.
