I've often pondered what is death. For years I had lived afraid of dying. The terror became intense when I was diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer at the age of 39. When I was laying on my bed decimated by chemo and consumed by cancer I thought of The Man who hung on the cross. I remembered He said He has the power to get a person to heaven. So I asked Him, I said: "Jesus, if you are real, please just get me to heaven. And get my children there someday too." Immediately all fear of death left me. And I knew that God is good, and Jesus is merciful. And heaven... I knew that Jesus is merciful and He would get me to heaven some great and glorious day. I trust Him. You can too.
WE ARE PEOPLE OF FLESH AND BLOOD. THAT IS WHY JESUS BECAME ONE OF US. HE DIED TO DESTROY THE DEVIL, WHO HAD POWER OVER DEATH. BUT HE ALSO DIED TO RESCUE ALL OF US WHO LIVE EACH DAY IN FEAR OF DYING. HE HAD TO BE ONE OF US, SO THAT HE COULD SERVE GOD AS OUR MERCIFUL AND FAITHFUL HIGH PRIEST AND SACRIFICE HIMSELF FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF OUR SINS. (Heb. 2:14,15,17 CEV)
