The Vineyard
I am the vine; you are the
branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit,
for apart from me you can do nothing. – John 15:5
I Corinthians 15:35-49
Pray for God to speak to you through
the reading of His word.
Read the passage.
-
God’s might > Our imagination
o
For some, the inability to imagine
the resurrection or other miraculous events is a barrier to faith. Do you find it hard to imagine the beautiful
future God has in store for us? Aren’t
you glad God’s might is greater than our ability to imagine?
-
Everything will change
o
The dead in Christ will be changed,
but also those still living will also be transformed. What does this tell you about the resurrection? Is it simply the undoing of death? Or, is it something even more grand?
-
Everything will stay the same
o
While we will all be transformed, we
will also still be ourselves. Though our
bodies will have been changed, glorified even, our identities will be the
same. Why is this a blessing?
Pray that God will give us the faith
to imagine more and more of the glories he has prepared for us.
Pray for the day when we will all be
transformed.
Pray that our identity now will be
found in Christ, so that when the great day of the Lord arrives, we will be
made like him.
