Life isn't easy. Its struggles meet us daily. Then the grave looms up at the end of our days, and we know there's one appointment we undoubtedly will keep. Some folks go through their whole lives trying to deny the fact that their days on earth are limited. The good that God gives us is not found in denying the bad things that happen, but rather in the victory the Lord brought about by conquering the bad in the work of Jesus Christ.
History is the working out of that victory.
Death is the great enemy of mankind. It's the worst of the bad things. But thanks to Jesus, it's no more than a temporary condition for a Christian. We only die for a little while physically. We'll be caught up to heaven to meet the Lord Jesus as He returns in glory.
