—1 Corinthians 15:45-58
by: Gem Barton.
Death is swallowed up in victory because of the finished work of Christ. According to Revelation 1:18, He holds authority over death and hell. Jesus’ enemies thought that they had won when they crucified Him. He was dead and it was finished. They did not anticipate that Jesus was going to rise again on the third day triumphantly over death and hell—He is alive forevermore. His triumph over death means eternal life for the believer. Death is transformation for us who believe as the mortal puts on immortality (v.54).
