Prayer: We await your coming, Lord, and are anxious to hear the heavenly sounds of trumpets. Amen.
Reading: I Corinthians 15: 53-54 (Click to read text) Stop and GROW: After reading the text, discuss/ponder the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's Book of Faith questions, which are part of Camp Mount Luther's GROW Time with campers. QUESTION 1: What scares, confuses, challenges, or doesn’t make sense to me in this text? QUESTION 2: What delights me in this text or is my favorite part of the story? QUESTION 3: What stories or memories does this text stir in me? QUESTION 4: What is God up to in this text? Reflection: When Jesus comes again, the dead shall be raised and everyone will be changed. We will get new bodies, so to speak, ones that cannot die or decay. Death lost its battle when Christ arose from the dead. It lost its sting and will never be victorious. Christ was victorious. Have you ever wondered about the second coming? How great it will be to see Jesus in person. So many artists have depicted Him in so many ways, but we will actually be able to see Him face-to-face. The trumpet will sound on that day to mark the arrival of a king, who is actually reigning over us all right now, too. --Chad Hershberger
