What KILLS DEATH?

Looking at the title, your first reaction may be, "hey, wait a minute.. is that a mistake? How on earth do you kill death?! Death kills YOU!"

Yes, don't get me wrong, I agree that death is in nature. Things die in the physical, whether it is natural or unnatural. And face it, we will die one day, it is a matter of sooner or later. We can't run away from it. We WILL die. Sorry to burst some of your bubbles.

See, we don't know when it will happen. But it will. Met John Tay, the other day and was talking with him. And he started sharing about this girl who was having eating disorders, and he said she is already in ICU (Intensive Care Unit), but she still refuses to eat! I was so shocked to hear that. She was dying but yet she REFUSED, did not want, hated to eat. Why? Because she thinks she is fat, she is not slim enough...

Yes, I sympathised her. But I was even angry! See, many people would die to live the life that we have, literally! Do you know that 53% of the world population survives on less than $2 a day? If you earn $4000 a month. You make about 100 times more than they do in a day! I tell you, we are so fortunate. Imagine the 53 out of a 100, surviving with 2 bucks a day! EAT? FOOD? They are starving! And right here, in the modern context world that we live in, we take all those things for granted.

See, many people will die to live the life that we have, but some people just live to die. (Rachel, I googled it, didn't find see it anywhere). Yes! I said that to John while walking in CitiLink. I think it is really sad. Don't you think so? Living to die? Some people just can't seem to get it.

Death, and dying won't solve the problem. It never will. It is what we do now, the life that we live now that matters. This life determines everything. Everything.
So wait. How can you KILL death? To tell you the truth, death is not just in the physical. But when i say death. It means eternal. Eternal death. Have you ever wondered, where on earth do I go after I die? I can only say this, whether you are a believer or not. The life that you live now determines that.

See, something powerful happened 2000 years ago. Something so signicant, that it was able to split timeline. (A.D. and B.C.) What was that event? The birth and Death of Jesus Christ. Something powerful happened when Jesus hung on the cross, and died (for us). He broke the curse of death, over our lives! He crushed it! KILLED it!

Who ever said it was over when you die?


John 3:16


16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
