No one can escape death. We are all "terminal". But this bad news is what makes the news of God’s provision for us in Christ so good!
We often think of death as natural, and it is to the extent that it is inevitable. But in another very important sense, death is unnatural. Death became a reality for humanity because of sin. “Through one man,” the apostle Paul says, “sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned” (Rom. 5:12)… Yet, because of Christ, and in Christ, our terminal condition is overruled. Death, though it remains our last enemy, is defeated. And life beyond death is assured. This is the believer’s hope and confidence.
