Paul spends time in chapter 15 writing about death. Apparently, we don’t need to fear death. The Apostle tells us that death will be defeated and that Christ will return. Look, I don’t know when he’s coming. I don’t care to argue about when Christ is coming. What I need confidence in is the fact that Jesus already conquered sin and death and he’s going to return.
Has death lost its sting or not? Paul seems to think so; it allows him to stay focused on the mission of fully giving himself to God’s work. We can do the same.
