1 Corinthians 15:20 But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep.
Each and everyone of us has to come to terms with death, illness and the sad situations that faces each and every person born of woman on this earth. How we cope with this is dependant on many things and we all cope uniquely different, even though we may feel we are not coping at all. For some people however death is the final straw and they loose all hope and become discouraged with life, and it during these times that a support and caring community is important. God knows that, so God places us with people who love us and have our best interests at heart.
When Jesus had to face death, He prepared His disciples and made many references to His dying, but just as equally He reminded them constantly that though He will die, He will be coming again. On that dark Saturday, nobody would have thought that Jesus would return that following Sunday, but He did. Just as we now have proof that He died and rose again, so we who believe know that those who love Jesus Christ are not dead, but asleep in the Lord. We will meet again.
Be encouraged to live and love each day, it is all we have.
Point to ponder: We die.
Question to consider: Do you live each day knowing it is your last?
