"For we who are in this tent groan, being burdened,
not because we want to be unclothed,
but for the clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by
life (II Cor. 5:4).
The world portrays death as a fearful skeleton figure
clothed in a black robe. With one
hand death clutches a sickle and with the other he takes hold of some poor soul
who is about to die.
For those of us who are in Christ Jesus, this picture of
death couldn't be further from the truth.
I love how Matthew Henry describes death. He said "death is but a kindly messenger come bid us to
the Father".
How marvelous that because of Jesus, we shall not die, only
be swallowed up by life!
