Death will not have the final word over those who belong to Christ. The Bible promises a resurrection when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God. This hope distinguishes the Christian faith from the despair of those who have no hope beyond the grave. Therefore, let us remain faithful, knowing that our labour in the Lord is not in vain. Scriptural Readings for the Day John 5:28-29 (KJV) “28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, 29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.” 1 Corinthians 15:52 (KJV) “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” 1 Thessalonians 4:16 (KJV) “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:” Prayer Lord Jesus, thank You for the hope of resurrection. Help me to remain faithful and to live with confidence in the promise of eternal life. Amen.
