The Last Enemy

Thursday. 1 Cor. 1 5: 50-58.

It’s natural to shrink from death. Death’s an enemy. It’s unnatural. But when Jesus is allowed sway in our hearts, there’s victory over the enemy. He fills us so full of himself and keeps us so busy telling others of him, that the fear is clean crowded out. We shall sing, because of Jesus, even when death comes closest. Then some day the full victory will come, and death itself will be put to death.
