Friday in Easter

1Verse 1. “At this my heart also pounds and leaps from its place. 2Verse 2. Listen closely to the thunder of His voice and the rumbling that comes from His mouth. 3Verse 3. He unleashes His lightning beneath the whole sky and sends it to the ends of the earth. 4Verse 4. Then there comes a roaring sound; He thunders with His majestic voice. He does not restrain the lightning when His voice resounds. 5Verse 5. God thunders wondrously with His voice; He does great things we cannot comprehend. 6Verse 6. For He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’ and to the gentle rain, ‘Pour out a mighty downpour.’ 7Verse 7. He seals up the hand of every man, so that all men may know His work. 8Verse 8. The wild animals enter their lairs; they settle down in their dens. 9Verse 9. The tempest comes from its chamber, and the cold from the driving north winds. 10Verse 10. By the breath of God the ice is formed and the watery expanses are frozen. 11Verse 11. He loads the clouds with moisture; He scatters His lightning through them. 12Verse 12. They swirl about, whirling at His direction, accomplishing all that He commands over the face of all the earth. 13Verse 13. Whether for punishment or for His land, He accomplishes this in His loving devotion.

50Verse 50. Now I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. 51Verse 51. Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed — 52Verse 52. in an instant, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53Verse 53. For the perishable must be clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. 54Verse 54. When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come to pass: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.” 55Verse 55. “Where, O Death, is your victory? Where, O Death, is your sting?” 56Verse 56. The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57Verse 57. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!
