OH GRAVE WHERE IS THY VICTORY?

Scripture:  1 Corinthians 15:55 “O death, where is thy sting?  O grave, where is thy victory?”

    “Oh grave where is thy victory, Oh death, where is thy sting? Our Lord has surely risen and we can shout and sing.”
    The Lord Jesus conquered death on the old rugged cross!  He willingly laid down His life that He might take it again and once and for all win the victory over sin and death.  His precious blood was the price!  He died, but He didn’t stay dead!  On the third glorious day, He got up from the grave!   Hebrews 9:27 says “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:” Two appointments are seen in this verse. First, every person has an appointment with death.  Then, secondly, all men have an appointment at the judgment.  
    There’s no way to get around it. Everyone is going to die at some point in time! You can’t postpone it!  You can’t cancel it!  This is an appointment that we all must keep!  The news here is not that we are going to die, we already know that, but that there will be a judgment we will have to face after this life. There is no way to miss this appointment either.  We will all stand before God and give an account!  Whether we like it or not, the Word of God is true!  So the important thing is that while we live we are to make preparations for that judgment!
    What will you say to the One who gave His life on Calvary for you?  What will your testimony be to the One who won the victory over death, hell and the grave?  What will you do when you stand before Him that day? How is it with your soul today, dear friend?
