My eyes grew weak as I looked to the heavens. But as my words should stray from your word, may they be quickly forgotten. Through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. You may remember that last week, I said that birth confronts you and me with the ultimate dilemma of life, a crisis. The crisis of death.
Death is that most formidable enemy.
It is the last enemy the Bible says. And it is an enemy that you and I, no matter how crafty and clever we are, we can't get around it. We can't beat it on our own strength, and certainly not outside of Jesus Christ. Sometimes we think that there must be something that we can do to get around it. But it will find us.
