IS THERE LIFE AFTER DEATH?
The grief-stricken Job asked, “Is there life after death?” Or more specifically, “Is there a resurrection of the dead?” Those suffering grief have joined Job throughout the centuries asking the same question. Yet, no definitive answer to this question was given until the coming of Jesus Christ, who answered, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live” (John 11:25). Jesus not only answered the question, but proved His claim by being raised from the dead after three days in the tomb.
Job’s question has been answered. Yes, the one who dies in Christ Jesus, will live again! And yes, a change will come over the body, so that the mortal becomes immortal, the corruptible, incorruptible (See 1 Cor. 15:52-54). Believers will receive a glorified body like Jesus, fit for living eternally with God.
PRAYER: Dear Father, our hope is in Jesus, who died and was raised to life. He has defeated sin, death and the grave. In this world, we have trouble and suffering. But we know that Christ has overcome the world. Therefore we do not fear what tomorrow holds. We put our faith and hope in Jesus. In His name we pray, amen.
