… because it is necessary for him to reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. and the last enemy to be destroyed is death because God has put everything under his feet. Now, when it says everything, it is clear that this does not include God himself who put everything under Christ. But when all things are made subject to Christ, put in service to Christ, then Christ the Son himself will also be put in service to him who put all things under him. So that God may be all in all, everything, for everyone. Paul continues. But someone will ask, How are the dead raised? What kind of body do they come with? Foolish person. What you sow does not come to life unless it first dies. and what you sow into the ground is not the body that is to be, but a bare kernel, a grain of wheat or something. But God gives the seed a body as he has chosen and each kind of seed its own body. …
And until then, Jesus will continue to rule and reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. And the last enemy to be destroyed is death. 1 Corinthians 15, verse 26 step back and think about this a bit with me see the bible gives us an apparently contradictory paradoxical view of death from our perspective on the one hand death is the enemy of life on the other hand death has become the servant of life first death is an enemy an enemy that will be destroyed, swallowed up, the Bible tells us. See Isaiah chapter 25, verses 7 and 8. Death is not natural. It's not a part of life. It's the opposite of life. Death wasn't part of God's good original design for his creation. It's not a portal into the spirit world. It's not the next great adventure. It's not a medical problem that we can delay indefinitely. Death is the wages of sin. Death is the result of breaking faith with God. Death is God's judgment upon us. …
… the same chapter from earlier, that the last enemy to be destroyed is death. but Lord Martha said the sister of the dead man by this time there's a bad odor for he's been there for four days then Jesus said did I not tell you that if you believe you will see the glory of God now Martha takes a bad rap unnecessarily I think the longest lines in heaven that we will want to offer apologies to are Martha and Peter. Everybody always hates on Martha and Peter. These were people of tremendous faith, but Martha is trying to understand, and Jesus says, move the tomb away, and she's thrown away, and she's going, he's been in there for four days. This is going to be massively embarrassing. He's going to be a stench. He's going to smile, and she says back to God, but God, here's all the reasons you shouldn't do that. I'm not sure you understand, Lord. Here are with a list of reasons, you shouldn't do that. And here's the truth. When we operate as God's counsel, we rob ourselves from experiencing God's glory. God knows what he's doing. …
… every rule and every authority and power. For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death. For God has put all things in subjection under his feet. But when it says all things are put in subjection, it is plain that he is accepted who put all things in subjection under him. When all things are subjected to him, then the son himself will also be subjected to him who puts all things in subjection under him, that God may be all in all. Otherwise, what do people mean by being baptized on behalf of the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized on their behalf? Why are we in danger every hour? I protest, brothers, by my pride in you, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord. I die every day. What do I gain if, humanly speaking, I fought with beasts at Ephesus if the dead are not raised? …
