The
promise of resurrection power is valid and secure because Jesus insured that
promise through the gift of His resurrection. He led the way before us and came
forth from the grave exercising power over death, hell, and the grave. The way
has been prepared for all who will look to Jesus and believe that the same
Spirit that raised Him will also raise every believer.
1
Cor. 15:50, “Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the
kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. 51 Behold, I shew
you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a
moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall
sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on
immortality. 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and
this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the
saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 55 O death, where is
thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?” We can embrace the power of His
Resurrection. We can receive His Promise by His example and proceed with full
assurance. When He comes, “the dead in Christ shall rise first...then we which
are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to
meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” 1Thess.
4:16-17.
God will have the last word. He will determine the way all this ends. We can know what our end will be. The Word of God has already declared the Victory and Glory of God! All Creation is declaring the Sovereignty and Majesty of God! All power and authority rest in His Hand! The future of the Believer is secure in His Hand because Our God Reigns!
