A Resurrection Hope

1 Corinthians 15:55-57 King James Version (KJV)

55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Song of Solomon 2:11-12 English Standard Version (ESV)

    the rain is over and gone.

12 The flowers appear on the earth,

    the time of singing[a] has come,

and the voice of the turtledove

    is heard in our land.

The sun came out today, reminding me that winter is nearly past and spring is almost here.  Hope comes when life is renewed.  Eternal hope came with the resurrection of our Lord.  He is alive and He is victorious.  So we shall also be.

2 Timothy 2:11 New International Version (NIV)
