More Alive Jn 11:23-26 #nightlight #RTTBROS
More Alive than Ever
by Dr. Paul Chappell
Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
John 11:23-26
One of the greatest and most common fears is the fear of death. Survey after survey shows that dying is dreaded by a vast majority of people. But for those of us who are saved, death holds no terror. The great evangelist D. L. Moody began his autobiography with these words: “Some day you will read in the papers that D. L. Moody, of East Northfield, is dead. Don’t you believe a word of it! At that moment I shall be more alive than I am now. I shall have gone up higher, that is all; out of this old clay tenement into a house that is immortal—a body that death cannot touch; that sin cannot taint; a body fashioned like unto His glorious body.”
In truth, the more we learn and understand about Heaven, the more we want to go there. There is work for us to do on this earth, but it is not our home. Paul explained the conflict this way: “For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you” (Philippians 1:23-24). Because of our salvation, if we experience death, it will merely be the door that leads us into the presence of God for all eternity. When we reach Heaven, everything will be perfect. All of the burdens and heartaches and diseases and infirmities will be gone forever. All of the temptations and besetting sins we have battled will be behind us. We will truly be more alive than ever before.
Today's Growth Principle:
Death no longer has the power to terrorize a Christian because we know where we are going.
