Invincible!!

As a boy you could never have convinced me that there was a stronger man on earth than my Dad. Doesn’t every boy think that? He was a strong, hard working man. I never thought I’d see the day when he would grow weak. But I did. Physically weak. His body succumbed to aging. It was sad. My hero had been reduced to a shell of his former self. It was painful to see and I’m sure even more for him. We all get to experience this. Our bodies will not go on forever. Not this body. But. Yes there’s a but. But if you trust and believe in Jesus there is a day coming when he will call us up to him. 1 Corinthians 15:52 says a trumpet will sound and the dead will be raised imperishable. Imperishable!! That’s awesome!! When our bodies die we don’t. We go to be with the Lord. But at some point when God decides the time is right he will call our bodies out of the grave and we will be reunited with our body only it will be transformed into a body stronger and better than ever! It will never age or get sick or weak. What will it look like? Don’t know. What will we be able to do? Don’t know. But what I do know is that it will be invincible. Like I used to think my Dad was only this time it will be true! And we will be invincible too because of Christ’s great love for us!! I’m starting to feel the affects of age on this body and I’m looking forward to the new one! My Lord, thank you for the promise of the great days to come when you call us home to be with you! We look eagerly for that day more and more as time goes on!!
Where oh death is your sting? When we all see Jesus, we’ll sing and shout the victory!!
Have a blessed day!!
