hope in Christ and the Resurrection

Isaiah 26-27

 19 But those who die in the Lord will live;
      their bodies will rise again!
   Those who sleep in the earth
      will rise up and sing for joy!
   For your life-giving light will fall like dew
      on your people in the place of the dead!

I can see why the Apostle Paul was confident that Christ's resurrection was a fulfillment of this Scripture and a guarantee of the bodily resurrection of everyone at the end of time. 

Heavenly Father, thank you for the hope that I have to spend eternity with you, and the knowledge that you will completely resolve all justice, conflict, and impurity.  Lord, please help me live expectantly for Christ's return.  I pray in the name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.
