1 Corinthians 15:20-22 (TLB)

20 But the fact is that Christ did actually rise from the dead and has become the first of millions[a] who will come back to life again someday.

21 Death came into the world because of what one man (Adam) did, and it is because of what this other man (Christ) has done that now there is the resurrection from the dead. 22 Everyone dies because all of us are related to Adam, being members of his sinful race, and wherever there is sin, death results. But all who are related to Christ will rise again.

Footnotes

  1. 1 Corinthians 15:20 the first of millions, literally, “the firstfruits of them that are asleep.”

1 Corinthians 15:20-22 (MSG)

16-20 If corpses can’t be raised, then Christ wasn’t, because he was indeed dead. And if Christ weren’t raised, then all you’re doing is wandering about in the dark, as lost as ever. It’s even worse for those who died hoping in Christ and resurrection, because they’re already in their graves. If all we get out of Christ is a little inspiration for a few short years, we’re a pretty sorry lot. But the truth is that Christ has been raised up, the first in a long legacy of those who are going to leave the cemeteries.

21-28 There is a nice symmetry in this: Death initially came by a man, and resurrection from death came by a man. Everybody dies in Adam; everybody comes alive in Christ. But we have to wait our turn: Christ is first, then those with him at his Coming, the grand consummation when, after crushing the opposition, he hands over his kingdom to God the Father. He won’t let up until the last enemy is down—and the very last enemy is death! As the psalmist said, “He laid them low, one and all; he walked all over them.” When Scripture says that “he walked all over them,” it’s obvious that he couldn’t at the same time be walked on. When everything and everyone is finally under God’s rule, the Son will step down, taking his place with everyone else, showing that God’s rule is absolutely comprehensive—a perfect ending!

Thinking Out Loud – Journal Thoughts/Prayers / Mind Maze Overflow

Catching bits and pieces of the televised divorce slander proceedings between Jonny D. and his what should have never been wife but now ex-wife Amber H.

Lessons learned I know my ex-husband Tim should have never been my husband to start.  Even during the courtship right up through the wedding day the volatility that transpired.    And somehow, I was just hooked and thought things would change.   Or I could work myself through it.

 

Not sure what anyone really thinks in the moment much less me.   When we are attracted to self-inflicted pain.    Oh, later finding our way trying to swim out of total destruction.

I wish both of those involved the true blessing of God.  But not to fill the pockets or more fame that defames us in the end anyway.

 

The world loves misery for company.   And the slayers that find nothing wrong defaming each party just for a little bit of something is absolutely wrong.

 

Trying to build a case pointing out each other’s faults and yeah, I get it one is suing for 100 million and the other 50 million and that is pocket change for their bank accounts but absurd in the world of middleclass.    Especially when both of those people are just people that chose a career that the world pays more for entertainment than anything good and decent.

 

My thoughts and perspectives.  It does not matter if you agree to agree or agree to disagree.    We all get to choose what we say, what we do and what we think about.

    Just curious what we do after we fall?    My own story I almost didn’t make it.   I swore if I were to ever get married it would be once and forever.

Two years in I was fighting for my life to just survive.    No big secret, my first divorce yep did it twice.     Was uncontested and nothing I would wish on anyone.    I walked away with nothing but the clothes on our backs.

Crazy how that all works.   Life is what it is.  The second time I married I married a childhood friend who about a year after my first divorce helped me get back on my feet and I felt an obligation after 4 years of being together I owed him at least the yes.   He was always my friend, but I was never in love with him.

Unfortunately, after years together he went and found someone to be in love with him I guess.

 

Choices…

Man, I can go on and on about what our choices would of, should of, could have been.

Instead, I am far from perfect and so blessed to even get a glimpse of love and lost because I was on the wrong track.   Then never know any at all.

 

I would have never been where I am today had I not lived through the lessons of life even if when they were happening.  There was no schooling going.

 

Fame, fortune, make the world and everyone of us in it crazy.    We make idols out of common women and men.   Forgetting we are no different just the jobs we choose and how we handle whatever comes out the end.

We forget to never stop loving people for who they are.  Instead, we chase what they do, and think we can get scraps they throw in the waves or autographs going by.

We are all easily swayed.   I know I have my favorites and absolutely adore some and at times have easily become crushed or pressed when I learn they are just human.  All the while putting on a façade for the world’s kaleidoscope.

I am blown away how this cancel cultural that screams for justice slowly or expeditiously has lost so much moral value for their own lives all the way they present the vulgarities of the human nature.   All the while they try to convince others to think like they do.

 

We as long as we are allowed back up dare to choose to be different.  Dare to hold that moral compass and drive onward shining any light we are blessed to share.

 

 All paralyzed in our own isolations of what is or what we think will be.

 

Me or you its all the same.    We either believe or we do not.   We either try to make it happen in our own time and doings or we give it to others to do for us.   We either allow Jesus in and to take the wheel of life or we recklessly find our way wherever the stops derail us into our own abyss.   Sometimes landing us in dark waters and others looking out across the waters.

 

One thing for sure.  Life is our choices but the depths of our souls. Well, we all get to choose that eternal peace and golden streets of brightly lined jewels lighting up the heavens with no more hate, no more sickness.   Or we get to endure the repeating process of thorns and flesh constantly melting away into nothing but the shadows of screams in our minds.

 

I pray anyone I ever come to know never take anything for granted.   No matter what is, what was or what could be.

No matter what hurt, what was right or what will be wrong.   No one loves us like you God.  And for this you sent your only son to die so we can live.  Nothing can change that but our acknowledgement within our own souls.

 

May all I am connected then, now or any future I may have.   Come to know your blessings.

Be with those who are cooking in the fire of this day and all that has transpired.
