We will be raised so why do we act mourn like the dead? (1 Corinthians 15:12-24)

I don't have it all figured out. Like I said at the end, if it went through, I know two things for sure. Three things I know. HE IS. And I desperately need HIM more than air, more than water, more than food, more than my life. HE Gives me my life. (Was an allusion to the OT. The phrasing always confused me. Now it makes smile.)
I found the title come to me with a verse. Matthew 8:22. Where the man says that he'd love to follow Jesus but has to go tend to his dead father. "Leave the dead to their own." Our job is life as the MSG puts it. And I'm inclined to agree. Those dead to sin are dead, the wages of sin are death. That's right there in the text. And The LORD does not call the innocent guilty nor does HE call the guilty innocent. Also right there in the text. We are only made innocent by being washed in the Blood of The LAMB of GOD. If JESUS is not the King of our lives.... have we been washed yet? Can't serve two masters. You get HIM or the world. HE only requires all of us; is that not what we want in any relationship though? Complete commitment. (Jeremiah, Hosea, etc. Idolatry is Adultery.)
