The sadness
of losing someone in death may keep us from seeing the realities of Christ.
Death is the final battle of our life on earth. No person on earth can escape
the toll of the terrorist called death. However, there is a great
"However" because death is an illusion. Instead of the illusion of
defeat called death, we have the reality of victory in Christ. In Christ, we
will never die if we accept Christ as Lord and Savior. The forces of nature
acting upon our physical body will take physical life from us. However, in
Christ, we have a new eternal life. What Satan will destroy in our body, Christ
will lift up in our spirit. When there appears to be certain defeat at the
hands of Satan, there is a certain victory in the nail-scarred hands of Christ.
As we approach the last steps of our physical journey on earth, we have an
eternal hope, for our journey of life has no real end. When our physical
earthly journey comes to an end, there is instead, a new beginning…the
beginning of eternal life in Heaven. In Christ, the ultimate defeat of our
earthly physical life called death becomes our ultimate spiritual victory when
we inherit eternal life in heaven.
