Today The Grave Has Lost Its Sting

In the fulness of Easter joy, you and I join in the hymn and sing, “O sons and daughters, let us sing with heav'nly hosts to Christ our king: today the grave has lost its sting!  Alleluia!” But if death has recently separated you from your spouse, or if you find yourself visiting the grave of a friend or loved one, you may be wondering, “If the grave has lost its sting, why do I still hurt so much?” You’ll be glad to know that our friend Paul lovingly answers that very question here in 1 Corinthians.
