The victorious scenes unfold majestic.

The necessity of the resurrection and the divine transformation is strongly demanded.
In front of our human destiny,
Facts unknown to no one, but only to us believers

The Word is here today.
The main text is verses 51-52.
51) Behold, I tell you a secret.
We will not all sleep, but at the last trumpet we will all be changed in an instant.

We will live again and we will change.
It is an amazing spectacle at the last minute.
Unprecedented incidents have been unfolding since the beginning of the war.

At that time, we saints, even those who were already dead,
It is a glorious thing that everyone will be resurrected or changed and die forever.

Everyone! There is always the threat of death all around us.
They are constantly looking for them. even now our lives
They have a goal, and that is sin and death.
Since human history, we humans have been solving this problem of death.
I've been trying my best to see. Some people eat buddha (不老草),
Some have spent their whole lives looking for the so-called immortality drug.
However, neither the half-dew of Seungro of Han Wu nor the immortality of King Jinsi were human.
There is no effect in protecting life and prolonging its lifespan.
I didn't see it. But our Lord
You have solved it.
This is verses 56-58 of the text.
56) The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
57) To us through our Lord Jesus Christ
I thank God for giving me victory
58) Therefore, my beloved brethren, be strong,
Do not be shaken, and always be diligent in the work of the Lord.
For you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
Amen. <End>
