Episode 395 - Show Notes
- We are afraid to die. We are afraid of what happens when we die. Death is the fundamental human problem.
- Life is short and so uncertain. “What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes” (James 4:14).
1 Corinthians 15:54-57 - "“When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.” “Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
- I love these verses. Death has been defeated. Our fears have been relieved. Our victory is found in the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. If God would not leave his Son in the grave, he will not abandon those who trusted in his Son. Death cannot win in the end because our Lord conquered the grave.
- Be encouraged by the knowledge that death is not the end of the story for those who know the Lord. The Bible tells us what lies ahead for those who know Jesus. We will spend eternity with our Lord.
- Death cannot win in the end. Death has been defeated. And the day is coming when death itself will be cast into the lake of fire (Revelation 20:14). Death was defeated when Jesus rose from the dead, and one day death will be no more.
