Ecclesiastes 9:1-6; 1 Corinthians 15:51-58
Statistics say we are living longer than ever before. Ironically, as our expectation of longevity increases, our stewardship of our lives actually seems to atrophy. Many people are living in denial of their mortality, simultaneously expecting more and risking less. It seems that somehow the longer we hope to live, the less we actually make of the days we are given. Christians are called to be so sure about the next life that we are set free to choose and live for the things which will most certainly cost us our lives!
