The Gospel of Luke 9:27 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.” (Luke 9:27 KJV).

Reflecting this passage through the lens of God’s grace - that is His unmerited favor and blessings, the Lord reveals that believers will experience the Kingdom of God within them through the Holy Spirit and revelation of grace and righteousness in the physical realm before they die. We discern from this passage that being born-again by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, though they may die physically, they will not "taste" death (eternal separation from God) because they have eternal life in Christ.

In the context of physical death, Stephen the first martyr of faith in Christ Jesus, on the edge of life and on the brink of being murdered by the religious Pharisees and priests, tasted; and saw a glimpse of the kingdom. And as they were stoning Stephen, before he fell asleep he called out, “And he said, “Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.” But they cried out with a loud voice and stopped their ears and rushed together at him. Then they cast him out of the city and stoned him. And the witnesses laid down their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul. And as they were stoning Stephen, he called out, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” And falling to his knees he cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” And when he had said this, he fell asleep.” (Acts 7:56-60 ESV).

And I say, AMEN!
