Death

Departure from the land of death and dying Enter a beautiful, perfect land of the truly alive Also, when faced with death's call, some introspection Take into account how we are living Honing in on values and priorities 1 Corinthians 15: 55-58 55 O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” 56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin [by which it brings death] is the law; 57 but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory [as conquerors] through our Lord Jesus Christ. 58 Therefore, my beloved brothers and sisters, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord [always doing your best and doing more than is needed], being continually aware that your labor [even to the point of exhaustion] in the Lord is not futile nor wasted [it is never without purpose]. John 11: 25 25 Jesus said to her, “[a]I am the Resurrection and the Life. Whoever believes in (adheres to, trusts in, relies on) Me [as Savior] will live even if he dies; All the funerals Jesus attended: Luke 7: 11-17 Matthew 9: 18 John 11: 38-40 He brought the person back to life. Our last pet passed yesterday. Even the death of a pet brings to life thoughts of death and our beliefs. I am deeply saddened by the loss.
