November 5

"Behold, I tell you a mystery. We shall not all fall asleep, but we will all be changed, in an instant, in the blink of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed... Death is swallowed up in victory. Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?”

-1 Corinthians 15: 51, 52, 55

For Reflection:

Death comes to us all, but we have the promise of the resurrection. As Christians, the overriding priority of our lives should be eternity with God, heaven, both for ourselves and as many souls as we can bring with us. Is this the focus of your life and if not, what needs to change?
