...so that our mortality may be swallowed up by life.

2 Corinthians 5:4 BSB

This is part of a long passage about living in a mortal body and the hope that we have of all being made new, the mortal swallowed up by Life! 

Here is Eugene Petersen from The Message, his take on this passage, may it fill you with hope today...

"For instance, we know that when these bodies of ours are taken down like tents and folded away, they will be replaced by resurrection bodies in heaven - God-made, not handmade - and we'll never have to relocate our tents again.

Sometimes we can hardly wait to move - and so we cry out in frustration. 

Compared to what's coming, living conditions around here seem like a stopover in an unfurnished shack, and were tired of it!

We've been given a glimpse of the real thing, our true home, our resurrection bodies! 

The Spirit of God whets our appetite by giving us a taste of what's ahead.

He puts a little of heaven in our hearts so that well never settle for less."

2 Corinthians 5:1-5 MSG
