Hebrews 2:14 – “That through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death.”
Child of God, death has lost its sting, because the devil’s power over it is destroyed. Stop fearing death! Ask God the Holy Spirit to grant you an intimate knowledge and a firm belief in your Redeemer’s death, so that you may be strengthened for that journey. Living with the cross of Calvary in focus, you may learn to think of death with pleasure and welcome it when it comes with intense delight.
It is blessed to die in the Lord: It is a covenant blessing to sleep in Jesus. Death is no longer banishment; it is a return from exile, a going home to be with the Lord where the loved ones are already living. The distance between glorified spirits in heaven and militant saints on earth seems far; but it is not.
So child of God, what is there for you to fear in death, seeing that through the death of your Lord Jesus its curse and sting are destroyed? And now it is like a Jacob’s ladder with its base in a dark grave, but with its top reaching to everlasting glory.
Have a wonderful weekend!
It’s a brand new day! Keep enjoying Kharis!
