Do you like Mysteries? Do you like to follow the story carefully trying to decode the mystery or are you frustrated by things you cannot discern? Did you know there’s a Biblical author who frequently used the word ‘mystery’ as the Holy Spirit led him to write 13 books of the New Testament? Yes, that author is the apostle Paul and today we encounter one of those statements in 1 Corinthians 15:51. Paul writes: “Listen, I tell you a MYSTERY: We will not all sleep [in death] but we will all be changed…”
Oh my, wait a minute…, what is Paul talking about here? We know death is inevitable for every living thing, so how is it possible Paul declares SOME PEOPLE will not die? WHAT is this great mystery which will happen to some people but not ALL people? WHEN and HOW will it happen? Will there be any warning? How do we avoid or participate in this mystery? Like any good mystery, this radical statement from Paul stirs up LOTS of questions and today let’s find God’s answers!
