Scripture Union Daily Guide 28th October 2024 Outline
Death brings everybody to the same level. It scores Ioo%: ten out of every ten people die. Well, not quite! The Bible gives us reasons for this fact.
First, Jesus killed death when He rose again! (Hebrews 2:14-15). He reversed what happened in the Garden of Eden. It is not the day that a prisoner is condemned to death that he is actually put to death. Adam and Eve did not fall down and die immediately but death had already entered into their life.
In the same way, death itself did not immediately disappear the day Christ rose from the grave, but death was already condemned to die! Second, for us too, death dies in the same manner. That is the message of John 3:16. What is more, some of us will not even pass through the experience of death!
Like Enoch and the Prophet Elijah (Genesis :24; 2 Kings 2:1n), we shall go straight to heaven (v.rz). This is what is called The Rapture”. It can occur at any time, and so we live in constant expectation of when the ord will come back to take us home.
Practice/Word Application
Thought: “One short sleep past, we wake eternally And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die.” (From John Donne: “Death be not proud”)
* Any new insight or reinforcement of what you already know?
Closing Prayer
Thank God for giving us victory over death.
Offer a prayer of faith in line with Ephesians 4:2-3
2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; 3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
