“But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:” (2Ti 1:10, KJVA)
Everything in this world is headed towards death. Once a beautiful and energetic child grows old and eventually dies and turns into bones and ashes. Once a tall tree falls to the ground and mixes with soil of forest. Once a bright star runs out of its fuel and turns into darkness. The whole world is headed toward darkness and cold. It is only in Jesus Christ that we have this process reversed in us. We grow brighter and brighter as we learn more and more about the truth and the word of God and eventually we will be risen from the dead and live with Jesus forever. This is the opposite of the nature of our worldly bodies and this is the life un Christ in contrary to the death of this world. As the world goes darker and cooler every day, we grow brighter and more vital by the grace of God. Amen.
