I have a great and most wonderful
announcement to make: Death has
been totally defeated! The spirit of
death, that is the devil, no longer has
the power of death. I'm sad to say,
however, that most Christians don't
know that. Most who do know it spend
little or no time in The WORD and what
it has to say about death. Therefore,
their faith concerning it is weak,
especially when dealing with the
unexpected departure of a loved one or
very close friend. The dying of the
physical body is an inevitable part of
life.
Let's go, first of all, to the verses from
which we find the title for this letter.
Let's read 1 Corinthians 15:55-57:
55 O DEATH, WHERE IS THY STING? O
GRAVE, WHERE IS THY VICTORY?
56 THE STING OF DEATH IS SIN; AND
THE STRENGTH OF SIN IS THE LAW.
57 BUT THANKS BE TO GOD, WHICH
GIVETH US THE VICTORY THROUGH
OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.
