Death Swallowed up in Victory

How does the Christian view death? Do we have a real hope or is it more of a wish? Earlier in the chapter, Paul provided eyewitness testimony to the fact that Christ was raised from the dead. Next, he speaks to the implications of the resurrection: sins forgiven, new birth, no condemnation, no divine wrath, and the promise of our own resurrection. But when and how will this day come? This is the day that Paul turns to in our passage. This last day is a unique day among all days, a day that is profound, mysterious, and glorious. Looking at this day correctly changes the way we look at today and the rest of our earthly days.
