爾豈於死者顯奇行、幽魂詎起而讚爾乎、

人已沒世、豈可施能而救之兮、幽冥之眾、誰克起而頌美兮、

主豈為死人施展奇行、陰靈豈能起而讚美主乎、細拉、

愁多目已枯。呼主朝復暮。每每舉雙手。聊抒中心慕。

Dead people can’t call out your name. How can they praise you when they are in the grave?

I said,“ What good will come if I become silent in death? What good will come if I go down into the grave? Can the dust of my dead body praise you? Can it tell how faithful you are?

People in the grave can’t praise you. Dead people can’t sing praise to you. Those who go down to the grave can’t hope for you to be faithful to them.It is those who are alive who praise you. And that’s what I’m doing today. Parents tell their children about how faithful you are.

“ At least there is hope for a tree. If it’s cut down, it will begin to grow again. New branches will appear on it.Its roots may grow old in the ground. Its stump may die in the soil.But when it smells water, it will begin to grow. It will send out new growth like a plant.No man is like that. When he dies, he is buried in a grave. He takes his last breath. Then he is gone.Water dries up from lakes. Riverbeds become empty and dry.In the same way, people lie down and never get up. People won’t wake or rise from their sleep until the heavens are gone.

Lord, your people who have died will live again. Their bodies will rise from the dead. Let those who lie in the grave wake up and shout for joy. You give life, Lord, like the dew of the morning. So the earth will give up its dead people.

He approached the town gate. Just then, a dead person was being carried out. He was the only son of his mother. She was a widow. A large crowd from the town was with her.When the Lord saw her, he felt sorry for her. So he said,“ Don’t cry.”Then he went up and touched the coffin. Those carrying it stood still. Jesus said,“ Young man, I say to you, get up!”The dead man sat up and began to talk. Then Jesus gave him back to his mother.The people were all filled with wonder and praised God.“ A great prophet has appeared among us,” they said.“ God has come to help his people.”

Dead people don’t praise the Lord. Those who lie quietly in the grave don’t praise him.

While Jesus was still speaking, some people came from the house of Jairus. He was the synagogue leader.“ Your daughter is dead,” they said.“ Why bother the teacher anymore?”Jesus heard what they were saying. He told the synagogue leader,“ Don’t be afraid. Just believe.”

That will happen in a flash, as quickly as you can wink an eye. It will happen at the blast of the last trumpet. Then the dead will be raised to live forever. And we will be changed.Our natural bodies don’t last forever. They must be dressed with what does last forever. What dies must be dressed with what does not die.In fact, that is going to happen. What does not last will be dressed with what lasts forever. What dies will be dressed with what does not die. Then what is written will come true. It says,“ Death has been swallowed up. It has lost the battle.”( Isaiah 25:8)“ Death, where is the victory you thought you had? Death, where is your sting?”( Hosea 13:14)The sting of death is sin. And the power of sin is the law.But let us give thanks to God! He gives us the victory because of what our Lord Jesus Christ has done.

The power of the Lord came on me. His Spirit brought me away from my home. He put me down in the middle of a valley. It was full of bones.He led me back and forth among them. I saw a huge number of bones in the valley. The bones were very dry.The Lord asked me,“ Son of man, can these bones live?” I said,“ Lord and King, you are the only one who knows.”Then he said to me,“ Prophesy to these bones. Tell them,‘ Dry bones, listen to the Lord’ s message.The Lord and King speaks to you. He says,“ I will put breath in you. Then you will come to life again.I will attach tendons to you. I will put flesh on you. I will cover you with skin. So I will put breath in you. And you will come to life again. Then you will know that I am the Lord.” ’ ”So I prophesied just as the Lord commanded me to. As I was prophesying, I heard a noise. It was a rattling sound. The bones came together. One bone connected itself to another.I saw tendons and flesh appear on them. Skin covered them. But there was no breath in them.Then the Lord said to me,“ Prophesy to the breath. Prophesy, son of man. Tell it,‘ The Lord and King says,“ Breath, come from all four directions. Go into these people who have been killed. Then they can live.” ’ ”So I prophesied just as he commanded me to. And breath entered them. Then they came to life again. They stood up on their feet. They were like a huge army.Then the Lord said to me,“ Son of man, these bones stand for all the people of Israel. The people say,‘ Our bones are dried up. We’ve lost all hope. We are destroyed.’So prophesy. Tell them,‘ The Lord and King says,“ My people, I am going to open up your graves. I am going to bring you out of them. I will take you back to the land of Israel.So I will open up your graves and bring you out of them. Then you will know that I am the Lord. You are my people.I will put my Spirit in you. And you will live again. I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I have spoken. I have done it,” announces the Lord.’ ”

I will not die but live. I will talk about what the Lord has done.
