“O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?” (1 Corinthians 15:55)
In this episode, we confront the reality of death—and the greater reality of Christ’s victory over it. Through the Scriptures, the Lutheran Confessions, and the comforting words of Luther and Walther, we learn that for those who are in Christ, death has lost its power. It is no longer a curse but a sleep.
We’ll explore how faith in the crucified and risen Lord transforms our dying into victory, how the Confessions call death “a blessed rest,” and how Luther could call the grave “a little bed” in which we sleep until Christ awakens us.
> “For the Christian, death is not the end, but a sleep until the Lord comes and knocks on the little grave and says: ‘Doctor Martin, get up!’ Then I will arise in a moment and will be eternally happy with Him.”
— Martin Luther
