Have you ever just sat
and thought about how present death is in our lives? I'm not meaning to be
supper morbid, but truly… Death is everywhere and is an essential part of life!
There is even life that comes from death… I know we don't like to think about
it… but I get life/nutrition/wellness from a cow/chicken/fish that is dead!
Forest fires are always unfortunate but are an essential part of the ecosystem,
from the fire new life and the health of the forest is renewed.
Even in the more abstract
and existential way of thought… death is eternal separation… I will eternally
be separated from being a child, I will never be in high school again(thank
God) that part of my life is dead and over to me! I had relationships that
truly died!… They will never be the same I am a different person and I will
probably never even speak to them again.
But in that… these
"deaths" always brought the opportunity for newness. They brought
room in my life for something different, something I did not plan and some of
the greatest experiences of my life. At this time when I feel like everything
is changing and my life is dying and taking new shape I think…Wait three days!!
See what happens!!!!
3 Blessed be
the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great
mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through
the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead
~I Peter 1:3(NASB)
8 Now if we have died with Christ, we believe
that we shall also live with Him, 9 knowing that Christ,
having been raised from the dead, is never to die again; death
no longer is master over Him. 10 For the death that He died,
He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. 11 Even
so consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ
Jesus.
~Romans 6:8-11(NASB)
