None of us likes to be reminded of these things, yet they are indelibly etched in our minds. Death is consequently an odious and taboo subject which most people would rather not hear discussed. They prefer to hide from the horror of it all and pretend that it is just not so. Death Itself will be Destroyed Thank God the believer does not have to pretend. Death is inevitable.
Death is dreadful.
But death itself will be destroyed. So there is hope. Hope, that is, for the true Christian. Hope because the Lord Jesus Christ tasted death for His people on the cross. He refused wine mixed with myrrh, a type of sedative, in order that he might fully, consciously experience the wrath of God against the sins of the world and, yes, so that He might fully experience and receive in our place the wages of sin, death itself.
