Message by Larry Thacker Jr. from May 1, “The Mystery of Resurrection”
We continue in 1 Corinthians 15 with verses 50-58 as our focus. Paul is wrapping up his defense and explanation of the resurrection of the dead. In verses 51-52 he says, “Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.” Some teach that in this statement he has revealed the mystery, the word being defined in this context as a truth hidden until God reveals it. Maybe so, but there is still a lot of mystery here. It raises a lot of practical questions that we won’t really be able to answer until the day it happens. Combined with the teaching in the preceding verses, this passage does give us some information and encouragement that we can apply to our lives today. Listen as we explore the mystery of the resurrection.
