Death

Death ought to be embraced by the Christian. And I know that sounds a little insane, but come let us reason together. Look here at what our blessed Lord did for us in His mercy while we were yet in our transgressions and at enmity with Him? Christ died for us while we hated him, showing undeniable love. Thus we we were bought by blood. By His death, we live.
But lo, death is still our lot. Look, as Adam ate the forbidden fruit we all have been cursed to die once. That curse we must still yet bear, but for God's blessed gift in the sacrifice of His Son, we no longer bear the condemnation of death. Now that we are children of God, our flesh will one day die but we shall rise to our Saviour to praise Him forever in eternity! Now death is our hope and anticipation. For to live is Christ and to die is gain.
In the mean time we must daily crucify the flesh. We must mercilessly slay all that is evil in our corrupt and sin bound bodies. Until we are given a new body, our flesh shall be our mortal enemy until the day it dies. This is the Christian life, to deny ourselves for the blessed Christ. Let us seek Him daily, which itself crucifies the flesh and glorifies our Risen Saviour. Let all praise Him!

Soli Deo Gloria
