Doing away with death
"In that day he will
remove the cloud of gloom, the shadow of death that hangs over
the earth. He will swallow up death forever! The Sovereign Lord
will wipe away all tears. He will remove forever all insults
and mockery against his land and people. The Lord has spoken!
There are many rooms
in my Father's home, and I am going to prepare a place for you.
If this were not so, I would tell you plainly.
Jesus told her, "I
am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me, even
though they die like everyone else, will live again."

About
this week's promise:
"There are two kinds of death—the cessation of life here on
earth, and the missed opportunity to live in heaven with God
forever. To die physically is to leave our earthly body and
our place in the earthly community. To die spiritually, eternally,
is to miss eternal residence in heaven with God and his people,
to be separated from God forever.
When we die physically, we can be even more alive as we take
up residence in God's eternal home with him and his people.
It is not pleasant to think of dying physically. But it is devastating
to think of missing heaven forever.
