Death
is ceasing to exist—but we know that our spirits will live on. Yesterday I
heard a clip of a country western song that said something like “I’m not afraid
to die… but I just don’t want to die right now.” Isn’t that probably true for
most people—Christians anyway. I am not afraid to die and know that I’m going
to a better place when my life in this mortal body ends. It’s going to be
wonderful, but am I ready to go today… or even tomorrow?
The Cemetary--a Holding place
for those waiting for Christ's Return.
I have seen everything in this
meaningless life, including the death of good young people and the long life of
wicked people. So don't be too good or too wise! Why destroy yourself? On the
other hand, don't be too wicked either. Don't be a fool! Why die before your
time? Pay attention to these instructions, for anyone who fears God will avoid
both extremes. Ecclesiastes
7:15-18
Get ready
today… since we don’t know what tomorrow will bring. We do know that believing
in Jesus will result in eternal spiritual life. Are you following Jesus? How do
you feel about dying and death?
Just
as everyone dies because we all belong to Adam, everyone who belongs to Christ
will be given new life. 1
Corinthians 15:22
Jesus
told her, "I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me
will live, even after dying. Everyone who lives in me and believes in me will
never ever die. Do you believe this, Martha?" John 11:25-26
Prayer
– Lord Jesus, guard my heart and mind, giving me wisdom to live in a way that
is pleasing to You—because life in You is really what matters.
Meditate.
Consider life and death.
