1 Corinthians 15v54-58
“Death is swallowed up in victory.”
“O death, where is your victory?
"O death, where is your sting?”
The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.

This is why our lives are worth living. It doesn’t end at death with Christ, for He defeated death and brought true life to all who follow Him.

On this Thanksgiving let us give thanks to our God who believes in our worth for sending His son to die on a cross for us. Our lives our worthy to the God and creator of all and in turn they shall be worthy to us. Not wasted, not standard, not the same, but empowered by the strength that is the resurrected Christ.
