The Truth About Dying

If all we get out of Christ is a little inspiration for a few short years, we’re a pretty sorry lot. But the truth is that Christ has been raised up, the first in a long legacy of those who are going to leave the cemeteries.
— 1 Corinthians 18:20 (MSG)

    My heavens! That’s quite a photo. Made me chuckle a bit, and roll my eyes, and wonder… Hmmm?

    Loved it and the scriptural connection.

    I am ready to meet my Lord anytime because I know there are things beyond human comprehension on the other side!

    But the truth is… as we read more and pay attention. It is like ‘take notice and believe’.

    That photo is exquisite, and yet sad. I can’t handle cemeteries since my mom died.

    Love your creativity with photos and scriptures on Sunday. As I fixate some days on aging, this gives me perspective. Thanks! And hope you have a restful Sabbath.

    It’s just a comma, isn’t it? Death. Just a comma before the best part begins.

    I really like how The Message bible really spells it out in plain ol’ American vernacular. Thanks for the reminder! I’m new to ‘Getting Down with Jesus’ and I’m loving it. Thanks for sharing yourself here.

    My mom just went home to be with Jesus last week… I am fixing my eyes on the hope of heaven. My Sunday Scripture post is about eternity and heaven also.
