DEVOTIONAL
Daily Lectionary: 1 Kings 2:1-27; 1 Corinthians 13:1-13
So David rested with his fathers, and was buried in the City of David. (1 Kings 2:10)
In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. King David was king for 40 years. Then He died and was buried. On Pentecost, Peter preached that David knew he would die but prophesied in Psalm 16 that Jesus, God’s “Holy One,” would not see decay. After all, Jesus died but he didn’t stay dead. David was buried. But Jesus had come out of His tomb. It was King David’s hope that what happened to his great-great-great-etc. Grandson would happen to him, too. If the Savior would rise from the dead, so will David someday.
And so will you. David died. You will die. Jesus died. But Jesus rose. So David will rise. And you will rise, too, on the Last Day. Christ’s resurrection is the “firstfruits.” That means He did it first, but we’ll do it later. He was alive the first Easter; we’ll be alive again when He comes in His glory.
Jesus rose from the dead to show that what He did on Good Friday worked. He paid for our sins. No more sins for Jesus because He said, “It is finished.” And with no more sins, there is no more death. So He was alive again the Third Day.
Your dying and rising will happen on the Last Day because it has already happened at the font. You died and rose in Baptism with Jesus. Peter told his Pentecost hearers, “David is dead and we know where his tomb is to this day.” We know where your tomb is, too. The watery grave is the font where you were washed with water and the Word; where you died the first time and rose the first time. Death at the end of your earthly life is just the “little death,” a nap, a sleep until the final trumpet calls you forth to life when Jesus comes again.
To die now is just to rest in Jesus until He wakes you up and gives you everlasting life in His eternal kingdom—the inheritance of David and all the saints. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.
My flesh in hope shall rest And for a season slumber Till trump from east to west Shall wake the dead in number: Had Christ who once was slain Not burst His three day prison, Our faith had been in vain: But now has Christ arisen, arisen, arisen; But now has Christ arisen! (This Joyful Eastertide, LSB 482:3)
