1 Corinthians 15:55 “O death, where is your victory? O death,
where is your sting?”
Insect stings can be very painful and even cause death in cases of allergy or multiple stings. Paul tells us that our physical bodies will experience a sting of death caused by sin, but for Christians death has no victory, as they will be resurrected with imperishable bodies. The power of sin is the law, and Christians are rescued from the power of sin by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ who conquered the power of sin by his perfect obedience of the law. Therefore, Christians are given the victory through the person and work of Jesus Christ. The sting of death is gone for Christians as the death of our physical bodies leads immediately to spiritual life in the presence of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. Protection from insect stings, such as that of hornet, can be secured through wearing protective clothing, and protection from the sting of spiritual death can be secured through faith in Jesus Christ.

Praise God for this wonderful gift of victory and
salvation through Jesus Christ. Grace
alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone is the only way for sinners to
conquer sin and death. Brethren,
meditate on the hymn below and thank God that death hath no terrors for all
that come to the cross of Calvary to be washed by the blood of the Lamb of God.
Death Hath No Terrors
Words and Music by: Charles P. Jones
Death hath no terrors for the blood bought one,
O glory hallelujah to the Lamb!
The boasted vict’ry of the grave is gone,
O glory hallelujah to the Lamb!

Death hath no terrors for the blood bought one,
O glory hallelujah to the Lamb!
The boasted vict’ry of the grave is gone,
O glory hallelujah to the Lamb!
Jesus rose from the dead,
Rose triumphant as He said,
Snatched the vict’ry from the grave,
Rose again our souls to save—
O glory hallelujah to the Lamb!
Our souls die daily to the world and sin,
O glory hallelujah to the Lamb!
By the Spirit’s power as He dwells within,
O glory hallelujah to the Lamb!
We seek a city far beyond this
vale,
O glory hallelujah to the Lamb!
Where joys celestial never, never fail,
O glory hallelujah to the Lamb!
O glory hallelujah to the Lamb!
Where joys celestial never, never fail,
O glory hallelujah to the Lamb!
We’ll then press forward to
the heav’nly land,
O glory hallelujah to the Lamb!
Nor mind the troubles met on ev’ry hand,
O glory hallelujah to the Lamb!
O glory hallelujah to the Lamb!
Nor mind the troubles met on ev’ry hand,
O glory hallelujah to the Lamb!
We’ll
rise some day just as our Savior rose,
O glory hallelujah to the Lamb!
Till then shall death be but a calm repose,
O glory hallelujah to the Lamb!
O glory hallelujah to the Lamb!
Till then shall death be but a calm repose,
O glory hallelujah to the Lamb!
