1 Corinthians 15:35-58

What if death isn't the end we fear, but actually a doorway to something infinitely more glorious? This exploration of 1 Corinthians 15 challenges us to reconsider everything we think we know about mortality and resurrection. We're invited on a remarkable tour of what awaits believers beyond the grave—not some disembodied, ethereal existence, but a tangible resurrection body suited for a new earth. The imagery is stunning: like a seed that must die before producing something far more beautiful and complex, our present bodies will be transformed into imperishable, powerful, glorious versions of ourselves. We'll experience the fullness of Christ's life without the corruption of sin—imagine friendships without betrayal, conversations without cruelty, joy without the constant shadow of decay. This isn't escapist fantasy; it's the bedrock truth that should fuel how we live today. When we truly believe that death has lost its sting because Christ swallowed it up in victory, we're freed to be steadfast and immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord. Every act of kindness, every sacrifice, every moment of faithfulness matters eternally. The question we must ask ourselves is honest and searching: Do we really believe in the resurrection, or are we just pedaling through life with brute force, trying to squeeze everything out of this world because deep down we're not convinced there's something better coming?
