Life Prevails
At the end of it all, life will prevail and death will be extinguished.
Life is the state of being that God created. Death is the interloper that cannot last forever.
Life is a miracle. Death is a curse.
Every time there is a birth, it speaks of hope, no matter what is going on in the world.
Every time there is a death, it speaks of brokenness.
Death is not natural, everything about it is unnatural.
But death was not a mistake, it was a consequence.
And the consequence of sin on a ageless world, had to be death. In that case, death is a mercy.
Death had to follow sin. It wasn't a pointless curse. Because sinful mankind cannot live forever, scheming and corrupting the world.
And a corrupted world cannot continue to exist, it needs to be destroyed and remade by the original Creator, God.
It needs to be recreated with no trace of corruption upon it.
To live forever requires the desire to live righteously, not wickedly.
So death had to be the consequence of sin, or every evil ruler would still be in power, with no chance of death snatching him away.
When evildoers die, it reminds everyone that they are mere humans, no matter how powerful they appeared to be.
When the righteous die, it speaks that there has to be more.
When Jesus returns His righteous followers will rise, incorruptible, joining their resurrected body to their spirit, that had been with Jesus since death.
And those who are alive and remain of His followers, when Jesus returns, will be transformed in the process.
Only God could do such a thing, and raise us up in our resurrected body, so even that is made new for us, not merely discarded.
Stay strong! Seek life in Jesus!
