Psalm 118:21-23 I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation. 22 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. 23 This is the LORD'S doing; it is marvellous in our eyes. 24 This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

“ Our Life is Hid in Christ Jesus, Amen ” Great word spoken, dear Brother Tom. And I felt God speaking to me thru your sermon when you expounded on the precious promises of eternal life for the believer. Whether we live or whether we die, we belong to the LORD (Romans 14:8). But He also pressed this verse on my heart and I share it with you: “He is not God of the dead but of the living.” (Mark 12:27a), which Christ used to combat the heresy of Sadducees who denied the resurrection. This gave me a vision of how we believers who may fall asleep before Christ returns may resemble plants, who without roper water or sunlight eventually fade away and expire under natural conditions. But once refreshment comes and the dawns breaks, see how even plants can revive: https://youtu.be/bAAdkDLGz0M?si=fHxlDfB7-UKb5eKU. The vid author proclaims at the end once the plant has seemingly come back from the dead “pure water, it’s a lifesaver” which may be true enough in this physical realm, but we boldly proclaim Christ’s Living Water which grows in the believer into a spring of everlasting life (John 4:14). When Christ returns, we shall behold those sleeping believers like weary plants now renewed by the sun’s rays or fresh rain stretch forth from the graves and arise to greet the Brightest Star with overwhelming joy! Hallelujah!
