And God raised the Lord and will also raise us up by his power.
1 Corinthians 6:14
I have a friend that has cancer, and she says she is ready to go home to God. She wants to be with Jesus. Then I see those who just pass fast. I know they was ready to be with Jesus or if He came back for them Then I hear Jesus walked the earth 40 days after the resurrection. Don’t we sometimes want to see our loved ones 40 days after they pass. So maybe we can say the things we didn’t get to say. Or we have regrets of guilt and shame that we needed their forgiveness, or we wanted to make amends for this. Just to tell them what they meant to us or that we loved them. So much we could do for 40 days after they pass that we should have done when they were alive. But they are alive in eternity if they were saved by Christ. Memories last forever, but people’s bodies don’t. But knowing your loved one loved Jesus, we can rest assure they are safe and free from this world.
During creation, Genesis 1:26; “God said, ‘Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness! We were created in God’s image, after His likeness. We were made to be like God in certain aspects, but not to be God. He gave us dominion over all of the earth and created us with a mind capable of creative thought and the ability to know Him and love Him or not. Today’s passage states that Jesus “is the image of the invisible God,” but this is a different concept in comparison to Genesis 1:26.
Jesus is the Son of God, Mark 1:1; and He came to earth with the Father’s authority. Jesus is God, Titus 2:13; and “the firstborn over all creation.” “Firstborn” often refers to the first one born. However, in this case, it is not stating that Jesus was created; if this was the case, then He would not be God. For example, David was called the firstborn, yet he was not the first one born: the word is referring to the idea that David was prominently favored and to his kingship, Psalm 89:20-27; I have found David my servant; with my sacred oil I have anointed him. My hand will sustain him; surely my arm will strengthen him. The enemy will not get the better of him; the wicked will not oppress him. I will crush his foes before him and strike down his adversaries. My faithful love will be with him, and through my name his horn will be exalted. I will set his hand over the sea, his right hand over the rivers. He will call out to me, ‘You are my Father, my God, the Rock my Savior.’ And I will appoint him to be my firstborn, the most exalted of the kings of the earth. Moreover, through David’s lineage came the King of kings, the Lord Jesus Christ, “the firstborn over all creation.”
It reads in John 10:26-33; But you do not believe because you are not my sheep. My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.” Again his Jewish opponents picked up stones to stone Jesus. but Jesus said to them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?” We are not stoning you for any good work,” they replied, “but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.”
{Let’s Pray}

I thank You and praise You that I am held so securely in the hands of my Lord Jesus and my Saviour, my God, my King, Author, Giver of life and that nothing can separate me from Your wonderful presence. I thank You and praise You for my gift of eternal life and the promise that nothing can snatch me from Your hand and no-one can separate me from Your Precious love. I love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Your Precious Name Lord Jesus Amen. Hallelujah!
