His resurrection-and ours!
April 3, 2010
‘O death, where is your victory?’ 1 Corinthians 15:55 NLT
Human ashes have been sprinkled into the sky from airplanes and spread over the ocean from ships. But Brian Kelly had something more glorious in mind. Kelly, who worked for a professional fireworks shop, requested that his ashes be put in a 30cm-round firework shell. On Friday August 12, 1944, at a convention of fireworks technicians near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, they shot that shell into the sky. It created two silvery comet tails as it ascended into the night sky, then it exploded into red and green stars. You have to admit, that’s a pretty spectacular way to go. But our resurrection will far surpass that four-second arc of light and colour. Instead of a cannon report, there will be the awesome blare of the trump of God and the majestic voice of Jesus calling us from the grave. In glorious resurrection bodies like that of Jesus Christ Himself, we will ascend into the clouds and meet the King of Kings. Paul describes it: ‘Our bodies are buried in brokenness, but they will be raised in glory. They are buried in weakness, but they will be raised in strength. It will happen in a moment, in the blink of an eye, when the last trumpet is blown. For when the trumpet sounds, those who have died will be raised to live forever…when our dying bodies have been transformed into bodies that will never die, this Scripture will be fulfilled: “Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?”‘ (1 Corinthians 15:43-55 NLT)
