The Father and the Son

1Cor 15 Our Father God allowed His precious Son to die, be buried, and rise according to the scripture. Without each part, the gospel message lacks truthfulness and power. The preaching of it is without merit and is in vain. The resurrection is proof of the efficacy of Christ’s death, but that is not what saves us. The cross was that payment; his death was that which saves. 1Co 1:18 For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved, it is the power of God.

By that power of resurrection, Christ became a life-giving spirit to all who believe. Because of that death, burial, and resurrection, we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed in the moment, in the blink of an eye, at the last trumpet. This mortality will put on immortality. The Father God’s work of redemption will be revealed as a beautiful tapestry of the image of the one who gave His life.

Beloved, Psalm 139:14 tells us that Our Father God beautifully and wonderfully crafts us. Here’s a question to ponder. Are you, am I, allowing God to fashion his garment upon us so that we may reveal his love and power to those who still walk without the garment of salvation?
