O Death Where is Thy Sting....

O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is strength sin; But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:35-57

I read the following quote on Facebook just yesterday.

"All that death can do to the believer is deliver him to Jesus."                                                        John McArthur                                                                                                        -                                                                                                                        

Scripture tells us that our enemy the devil is a roaring lion, seeking to steal, kill and destroy whomever he may devour.

We know this to be true. We see it every day in the news. We see it in the physical body. We see it in our homes.

But the fact is, for those of us that are believers, John McArthur is right. All that the devil can do through our deaths, is deliver us right to Jesus and the sting of death is broken.

And so while we suffer at the loss of our loved ones that go on before us to their eternal home, we can also rest knowing that they were delivered to Jesus, the moment that they left this world to join Him.

And we can thank God for His mercy.

Thanks for coming by Friends. God bless you
