DEATH
LETS FACE IT---- WE DON'T LIKE TO FACE IT .
I recently played trumpet a an funeral service of a friend [this was Dave who passed after a short battle with cancer] and spoke at the service
Most people do not like to talk about or face the issue of death.
Can’t blame them its never that pleasant.
But in having faith in Christ he won the victory over death and the grave.
He faced death head on our behalf were he got the victory over death and the grave, when he rose again from the grave this was called the resurrection.
Jesus stated that if we believe in him we will not die but live with him for eternity .
How do we know because he rose on the third day .This is the hope of every one who puts there faith and trust in Jesus Christ .
Isaiah the prophet in the bible spoke of the victory Christ would win over death some 600 years before Jesus was even born read what he said about Jesus and his victory over the grave and death.
Isaiah 25
8 He will swallow up death forever,
And the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from all faces;
The rebuke of His people
He will take away from all the earth;
For the LORD has spoken.
9 And it will be said in that day:
“Behold, this is our God;
We have waited for Him, and He will save us.
This is the LORD;
We have waited for Him;
We will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.”
Do you see that in v 8 that is what Jesus did when he was resurrected.
Friend If you are a skeptic then ask Christ to show you pray a simple prayer today to Jesus .
I could give you a prayer but I am not going to, say it in your own words.
Start talking to God in your own words God looks at your heart friend not if your on your knees, not if your are great speaker, not if your in some fancy cathedral ,this is just you and him but no matter how you go about it start talking to him that’s what prayer is if you call on him he will answer and it will probably not be in the way that you or I think he will .But what ever you do face it death will come to us all are you ready for eternity
