P. 64
he's saying in this context that Christ took
the sting out of death, and this is why he
can say in verse 58, “Therefore, my beloved
brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable,
always abounding in the work of the Lord,
forasmuch as ye know that your labour is
not in vain in the Lord.” He could say,
“Listen. Be steadfast, be unmovable, keep
living for God.” How could he say that?
Because of Christ's resurrection. See, he's
saying that is the guarantee. He said keep
abounding in the Lord because your labor,
as well as your faith, is not in vain. So as
we’ve assembled together here this morning,
it is not in vain. God will honor this. God
will honor our labors. He'll honor our faith.
