Death

Death surrounds us, it lurks in places which we think safe. Death stalks us and finds us. We all die. But for me and for all under the care of Jesus, death does not conquer us; not any more. Like many other hurdles, trials and tragedies, death for the follower of Jesus, becomes one more experience which we go through. Death for us has an exit, it becomes a conduit, not a dead end. In conquering death for us, Jesus leads the way through it as we follow Him through it. This is the victory, this is the hope. And this is the truth.
