Our destiny in Christ is eternal life. Death is merely a very temporary interruption in the midst of cosmic life.
C. S. Lewis
Romans 8:18-23
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now. And not only this, but also we ourselves, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body. (NASB95)
It is of great importance to spread the Good News! Christ in whom “All Things were created,” has put an end to death, hell and the grave for all that accept Him as Savior and Lord. Why is the “Lord” part so important? It is for us to answer His command and place the bows of our eternal ships against the waves of the world, to enter to port of our new existence
Christ our eternal Messiah, came to release our world from a spinning whirlpool of death. It is why “Our Lord” wept at the tomb of Lazarus, but the tears that flowed down His precious face also saw again the futility of death in which all of creation suffered, He wept over “Death” itself.
Makes me pretty sure we will not be hunting in heaven. Nothing will ever again have to die so that something can live. That is why is so necessary for us to spread the message, The Death of Death has occurred, the lion shall lay down by the lamb. The Birth of Christ was the beginning of the end, and the start of a new existence with Him forever.
