Do You Fear Dying?

He will swallow up death forever. Isaiah 25:8

Is the fear of death robbing your joy of life? It can. At the age of 37, Florence told her friends her life hung by a thread. So, she went to bed and stayed there for 53 years! She did die but at the age of ninety! Except for three years, Florence cowered before the giant of death. But during those 3 years, she made a name for herself, not as one who suffered but as a friend to those who did. Florence Nightingale lived as a slave of death.

What about you? Jesus Christ came to deliver us from the fear of dying. He has destroyed the power of death. 2 Timothy 2:10 says,: "But now has been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,"

For those who know Jesus Christ as their Savior, there is no need to fear death.
