Last week, on September 8, the coded message was delivered—“London Bridge is down.” That was the signal communicating the death of Queen Elizabeth II. The idea of a Monarchy is strange to most of us. The Monarchy represents a very old way of thinking. That the King or Queen is appointed by God to rule over the nation The idea of a God-appointed ruler or representative is a theme that we find in today’s passage. Some in Corinth apparently don’t believe in the resurrection of Christians from the dead. Paul’s response is to defend the resurrection by explaining that the destiny of every single person on the face of this planet is tied to fate of two giants, two representatives. So what is the destiny of those in Adam and what is the destiny of those in Christ?
