Text:
Behold, I tell you a mystery:
We shall not all sleep.
But we shall all be Changed,
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye.
For the trumpet shall sound in the heavens,
and all who have died shall live again.
And when we have been clothed with immortality
Then shall be brought to pass the saying
That is written:
“Where O death, is thy sting?”
“Where, O grave, is thy victory?”
Thanks be to God, who gives us victory
Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
– I Corinthians 05:51-53, 55-57
