All believers will experience resurrection from the dead. When the Lord returns, the dead will rise (1 Thess. 4:16). The living and the resurrected will be transformed into bodies that will never die (1 Cor. 15:35-58). Immortality is both a promise and reality for us.
God is God, not of the dead but of the living (Lk. 20:27-40), and wants us to live with Him forever. Whereas resurrection is a given by the power of God, eternity with God is a choice we make. As a people of the resurrection, are we living to gain our heavenly home?
Loving Lord, You are God of life and of the living. You grant new life in this world and eternal life in the next. May the choices we make, the lifestyle we embrace and our efforts to attain holiness by Your grace, all prepare us to spend eternity with You, our true love ❤️ . Amen.
Blessings,
Fr. Howie
