“If a man die shall he live again?” Job, in the Bible, asked this question.
The death certificate has been signed. Already things have changed, the earthly remains do not look the same. The undertaker now refers to your loved one as ‘the body’ This is so painful, and something of a shock, but people are only doing their job.
What is beyond? Is there a heaven or a hell? What is life? What is death. It seems as if a light has gone out in someone’s life. What has happened? What will happen when my time comes? Where do we go? Could we be lost forever? Is this all there is?
These are very lonely questions. Death is the great concern in all our lives. It is the great unknown and these thoughts come to us all at some time.
But God knows just how afraid and alone we feel for He calls it slavery.
“Who through the fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.”
But in answer He says,
“Fear not, I am alive for evermore and have the keys of death.”
