Look Up

I Corinthians 15 cont’d:

The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor. So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable;  it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body.

I absolutely love looking at the night sky when no clouds are around, and observing the moon and the twinkling lights against the backdrop of black.  It’s stunningly beautiful.  In fact, here we read that it’s full of splendor. 

So if we can take all of that splendor and beauty in with our natural eyes, why can’t we take in another kind of splendor?  An imperishable one!  An honorable one! A glorious one!

All that God does in our lives is counter to what culture teaches us on earth.

Weakness in our bodies or even in our spirits, is raised in power when be believe.

Sickness that sends our bodies to the grave, results in resurrection that soars our spirit to the sky.

Death that comes to visit all, is overcome with life attained through Christ.

It’s not hard to believe.  We just have to choose to do so.  Just look at the stars and the wonder of the galaxy, then accept Jesus and the majesty of his love.
