Fellow Labourers-
Does the thought of the last enemy perturb your sleep? If so then try singing- "Death has no terror o'er the blood washed one, O glory Hallelujah to the Lamb." If you sing it then absorb the truth of it and rest in the Lord.
For the fatalists among us listen to the writer "Affronted by such an in-your-face, unapologetic reality of human mortality, one finds oneself face to face with a dilemma: why should you devote all of your energy to making a meaningful difference in the world if it is true that everything done under the sun will eventually amount to zero? Once one has come to the conclusion that the emperor has no clothing, what sense does it make to keep up with the pretense? Sadly, some see through the emptiness and choose to end their own lives. From a naturalistic perspective, that seems to be a perfectly consistent step to take.
Yet the Bible grasps this nettle with astounding authority. Not only has God placed a yearning for our true home in our hearts, God has also promised to clothe the perishable with the imperishable and the mortal with immortality through Christ's own death (1 Corinthians 15:54)."
Pax Vobiscum
