1 Corinthians 15: 44. It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body.
If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.
Paul is talking about life after death. Some in Corinth doubt that. Without the resurrection, there is no point to faith, Paul says. He explains that there must first be life, then death and resurrection.
I have been thinking about death and faith a lot. Walt's death, so soon after my mother's, has really rocked me. A spiritual body... what is that? Is the person who died aware of what is going on with the living? Do they feel time slipping by? Is there only awareness of the glory of God?
Prayer: Lord, I am hurting for myself and for Your people. We grieve the loss of those we have loved. Comfort us. Help us to move on despite our pain. Let us feel Your presence in our daily lives.
Amen
