“I don’t think about dying. It’s the last thing I want to do,” is written on the bookmark.

Let me tell you about a man who did think about dying.

He even said that dying for him is gain.

Even more. He said that he desired to depart.

Why did he say all that? He had several reasons:

He expected that he would not be ashamed, but that he would have enough courage so that Christ would be exalted in his body, no matter what happened (Death or Life).

He knew that for him to live is Christ.

He knew that it was far better to be with the Lord Jesus Christ.

The man I am talking about is the Apostle Paul. Please read the first chapter of his letter to the Philippians.

It does not matter whether you are thinking about dying or not, it is the last thing you will do. The Bible says, “Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment …” (Hebrews 9:27)
