The article “My teenager is obsessed with death,” in one of our local papers makes me think about death again.
People are afraid of dying, but the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ gives us a solid hope.
- We die, because we have broken the law.
- God is just and he cannot overlook that.
- The Lord Jesus Christ has borne our condemnation.
The death of the Lord Jesus Christ was no accident. His purpose in dying was “to take away the sins of many people.” Please read Hebrews 9:28. That is the sin which kept us from God. And the Lord Jesus Christ kept his word when he said that he would die and rise again. Please read Luke 24:7.
ROMANS 6:23: “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
