1. The Great resurrection
I Corinthians 15:51-57

2. I Cor. 15:51
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

3. I cor. 15:52
52 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.

4. I cor. 15:53-54
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

5. I cor. 15:55-57
55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

6. I Cor. 15:51
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

7. A Mystery in Paul’s Writings:
Something that had been hidden
Something that was previously unknown
Something that had to be revealed by God

8. I cor. 15:52
52 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.

9. Questions answered
How long will it take…..in a moment…the twinkling of an eye
When will it happen……at the last trumpet
What about those who are dead……they shall be raised
What about those who are living……we shall all be changed

10. I cor. 15:53-54
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

11. So what will change? We will no longer age
We will not be subject to sickness
We will not be subject to die

12. I cor. 15:55-57
55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
