GOD MAY BE ALL IN ALL
Keywords 15:28
When he has done this, then the Son himself will be
made subject to him who put everything under him, so that God may be all in
all.
1. The risen Christ became the firstfruits from the
dead (20) and his resurrection guarantees the bodily resurrection of those who are in
him. When Adam disobeyed God, sin and death began to reign over all mankind and
no one could escape this fate. But in Christ, our sins are forgiven and we have
eternal life and the promise of resurrection (22).
2. Our
resurrection will occur at the second coming of Christ (23). When Christ comes
again, he will destroy all dominion, authority, and power on earth and put all
his enemies under his feet (27). The last enemy, death, will no longer rule us or
make us fearful, for death will be destroyed by resurrection. When Christ puts
all things under his feet, creation order will be restored and God will be all
in all (28). All of creation longs for this day and it will be the climax of
God’s redemptive history and the day of our glorious
bodily resurrection.
3. If the
dead are not raised, the only realistic approach to life seems to be, “Let’s eat and
drink, for tomorrow we die.” But
because of the hope of resurrection in Christ, we can die every day, take up
our cross for the gospel, and follow Christ like Apostle Paul.
Prayer Lord, thank
you for life and hope in the risen Christ. Help me die every day and follow
Christ with the hope of glorious resurrection and experience the power of
resurrection every day.
One Word I face
death every day
