Have you ever experienced that frustrating moment when you're locked out—standing helplessly at your front door without keys, or staring at a computer screen that won't accept your password? That feeling of exclusion runs deeper than we often realize.
Today, we journey through 1 Corinthians 15:20-23 to explore humanity's ultimate locked-out experience: separation from God. Through Adam, our human starting point, sin erected an impenetrable barrier between us and our Creator—introducing all the brokenness, hurt, and spiritual disconnection we experience. But this isn't where the story ends.
Christ's resurrection represents the divine locksmith's masterwork—not just picking the lock, but shattering the entire barrier. "Jesus didn't just patch things up," as we discover in today's reflection. "He broke through the barrier completely." His resurrection wasn't merely a personal victory but "the first of a great harvest," creating a pathway for everyone who belongs to Him. What began as a single crack in death's foundation has blown the entire wall wide open, inviting us into full belonging with God.
When life leaves you feeling excluded, remember this powerful truth: the most significant door has already been unlocked by Christ, and He's holding it open for you.
