I want us to consider this particular event this morning. In this account we find several great powers that are present. The Power of Death. It is a universal power. And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.
Death is no respector of persons.
It is a power against which we are helpless. But though he was young and lived in a lovely place, he had no power over death. We pile up things on this earth to keep us young and happy, we invent things to prolong life, but when the hour of death comes these things are helpless to sustain life. It is a mysterious power. It strikes when and where we least expect it.
