| “He is not the God of the dead but of the living.” |
| —Matthew 22:32b |
Sadly, for many people who do not believe in God, when death comes they believe they cease to exist.
But for Christian believers, we have the sure knowledge that, because of Christ's sacrifice on the cross in our behalf, we have eternal life with Him.
Jesus spoke these words, as recorded in Matthew 22:31-32:
“But about the resurrection of the dead—have you not read what God said to you, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not the God of the dead but of the living.”
Knowing this life is but a part of our journey to eternal life changes everything. So, as we begin a new day, let’s rejoice that some day, when we pass from this life to the next, we will spend eternity at the feet of Jesus.
And, with that comfort in mind, let us share His love with those who cross our path this day.
