There is no mistaking the victory of death over life. Paul tells us why. That simple formula speaks of a profound truth. It explains why people die. They die because they sin.
Sin exists because there is a divine standard.
Since God is not about to change his divine standard, people will continue to fall into sin. And people who fall into sin will die. That is a refrain that reaches into our time and invades the life of our families. Death s sting is penetrating and pervasive. Nothing will adequately prepare you for that phone call, the phone call that says your life will never be the same.
