"When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.”
"Where, O death, is your sting?”“Where, O death, is your victory?
The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." -1 Corinthians 15:54-56
Trying to feel this passage and not to just know it. Sometimes it is hard to feel as though we have the victory over death in Christ. Though it's good to remember that Jesus still cried over the death of Lazarus even when he knew that he not only had the power to raise him, but was going to do that right away. I have to remind myself that sadness is still okay (though it is no fun) and at the same time that it is not the end either.
