CHRIST THE VICTOR

RESURRECTION LIFE “WE SHALL ALL BE CHANGED’* Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: therefore let us keep the feast, not with old' leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and! wickedtness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. (1 Cor. 5:7-8). 'Christ being raised from th© dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion ovei' him. For in- that He died. He died unto sin once:. but in that He liveth, He liveth unto God. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:*9t-ll). Now is- Christ risen from' the dead, and' become the first fruits of them that slept. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. Behold, I show you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, blit we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead- shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks, 'be to God, which giveth us- the victory through- our* Lord Jesus 'Christ. (1 Cor. 15: 20-22, Kl-S3, 56-®7.) P3.A.
