But someone may ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?” How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies  (1 Corinthians 15:36).

OK, I know I’m always talking about keeping things in context, but how can I not stop at this line?

What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.

Paul is going to give us plenty of examples of what he’s talking about over the next few verses. In fact, we’ll be digging through this concept for the rest of the week–at least. But for the moment, will you join me in an experiment? Let’s just meditate on this verse for the day. Let it roll around in your head and hit all your mental taste buds. Ask God to show you what this verse means in the context of the passage and, perhaps, in the context of your life.

Is there something in your 

life

work

walk

heart

that God wants to bury in order to raise it? Are you willing to find out?

Be willing to find out.

Happy Tuesday, Beloved
