Hope Even In Death

In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.  - Psalm 4:8

It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. - John 6:63

25 Now there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was righteous and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

26 And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ.

27 And he came in the Spirit into the temple, and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the Law,

28 he took him up in his arms and blessed God and said, 

29 "Lord, now you are letting your servant depart in peace, according to your word; 

30 for my eyes have seen your salvation 

31 that you have prepared in the presence of all peoples, 

32 a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to your people Israel."  - Luke 2:25-32

For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm.  - Psalm 33:9

By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible. - Hebrews 11:3

as it is written, "I have made you the father of many nations"-in the presence of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist. - Romans 4:17

It's different when a Christian dies.

I mean the dying part is the same because when a human body gives up its spirit, the earthly body ceases it's life.

I'm speaking of a hope that continues even after death. 

That hope is Jesus Christ!

His promise of eternal life through His death and resurrection for all who trust Him gives a hope and joy that death can't destroy!!

So even in the midst of the greatest sorrow of death, we have hope in Christ!!!

Death is the great unknown!

We only have our faith in Christ and God's written word to comfort us!

Death is a great mystery but a bigger mystery still is life after death.

Do you believe you will have eternal life through Christ? 

Or do you believe death is the end?

I pray you will seek God while you have breath!!

The one and only true God is not a religion.

He is sovereign God, who was and is and is to come!!!

He has no beginning, no end and reigns eternally!!! 

Out of invisible things, He made the world, everything in it and the universe!

He spoke and there it was!!!!

Your Invitation 

Christ said "And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself." - John 12:32"

Your Forgiveness 

13 And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses,

14 by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. - 

Colossians 2:13-14
