1 Corinthians 15:55-57 — Verse of the Day for 04/20/2010

Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

—1 Corinthians 15:55-57

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

We have victory, ultimate victory over death. You see, if we don't have the answer for life's biggest test, death, then we have no lasting victory. The Super Bowl and World Series are played every year. A champion is a victor for only one year and has to earn it again and again by competing and finishing the season in triumph. But a Christian is a champion forever. Because of Jesus, each true disciple of Christ Jesus has lasting victory over death. Yes, "thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."

My Prayer...

Thank you, God, for blessing us with lasting victory in Jesus Christ. In our daily struggles with sin, please make God's will triumphantly present in us now, just as it will be when he raises us from death and brings us home to you. Through our Triumphant King, we offer you our praise. Amen.
