Job 19:23-27
Easter teaches us that Christ is the firstfruits of those who have died. Just as Christ rose, “so in Christ all will be made alive” (1 Corinthians 15:22). That changes everything: the way we grieve the death of a Christian loved one, the way we feel when our health fails, the way we look at
the purpose of life right now. Let us rejoice in this resurrection reality: All will be made alive because we know that our Redeemer lives!
