Death

What a morbid title for a blog post. Yet at some point in everyone's life we face its reality. Perhaps a family in your church buries a child, or a 37 year old mother of 7 is barely clinging to life. Perhaps a dear friend is battling cancer before his time. Or another mother in remission is frightened on a daily basis that her cancer will reoccur. Perhaps a young mother dies at birth.  These situations are reality. I believe it's a good thing to face one's mortality because there will be a day we face it in finality. And if we face it now, then perhaps we will realize that there is only one way to eternal life: through the precious blood of Jesus Christ. As my precious husband said this morning, we will all die. A simple truth, yet striking in its reality.

We will all die.
And the only way to heaven is through the blood of Jesus.

I pray friend, that you know that saving grace. And I believe we need to face our own mortality every single day, so that we realize, it is not for me to live for myself but to live for Christ.
