**1 Corinthians 15:42** — *"What is sown is perishable; it is raised imperishable."*
Paul is writing to believers who doubted the resurrection — not the fact of Christ's, but the possibility of their own. He answers with a seed.
A seed buried in soil looks like failure. It disappears. It decays. And yet that dissolution is precisely the condition for what comes next.
The body you carry now — tired, aging, marked by loss — is not the final form. Scripture reminds us that God does not restore what was; He raises what could not have existed otherwise. The imperishable does not merely repair the perishable. It transcends it entirely.
This is not comfort for the distant future alone. It reframes how we steward suffering today. Every wound, every limitation, every grief — sown in weakness, as Paul writes just two verses later — becomes the very ground of glory.
Walk with that truth today. The decay is not the end of the story.
