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.
Devotion based on 1 Corinthians 15:42,43
Many people try to stay young forever. Plastic surgery is prevalent in society. People try to “wash that gray” out of their hair and use medication to make their thinning hair grow.
Mankind even used to search for the Fountain of Youth. The explorer Ponce de Leon thought he’d found it in Florida. Modern man still hopes to find it in medical science.
But we all continue to grow older, and our bodies get more tired as the years progress. The apostle Paul tells us that our Fountain of Youth is in a different place.
When our Lord Jesus died and rose again, he didn’t only redeem our souls. He redeemed our bodies as well. Man fell, soul and body, into the destruction of sin. Jesus rescued us, soul and body.
And so, for the Christian, death leads finally to the rescue of the body from the weakness and weariness sin brought. When Christ returns and raises us from our graves, we will enjoy eternal health—both of body and soul. And how could it be otherwise? We will be forever in the presence of our God and Savior, the very Fountain of Life, health, and every good.
