thing that nature shapes, it re.
shapes for all is just for :
time. Every beast Of the field
every flower of the garden, ev.
ehy blade OF grass, every biro
Of the air, every crawling rep.
tile and vermin, every fish Of
the Sea-muSt some day die;
telling mankind that life i;
short, The sun rises to sci
again and sets so that it can
rise again-part of Gods hand
iwork teaching mankind that
some day, rich and poor, black
and white, young and old. male
and female, some day must die
Every step in life is a step
closer to that last mile. every
breath is one closer to the last
every setting of the sun is one
setting less. The problem Of
death begins with the problem
of life, for as a man live SO
shall he die. The cradle is the
first stepping stone to the grave
and the short span o life on
earth is merely a chance to
prepare for the long span OF
eternity, Earth is a dressing
room where we are given time
to prepare for that unexpected
trip to a great beyond-If We
fail to be ready then We have
lived our life in vain.
The problem of life is TO alb
stract the sting of death. The
scientist leaves this to nature
knowing that the human body
is equipped with a safety valve
and when pain becomes too Sc
we're the unconscious comes in
to play. Doctors attempt 20
remedy this with magic formu-
las. that ease the mind and
give rest to the body. The true
sting of death is that sting
which grips the soul and not
the body for which Christ. who
has declared Himself the Res
direction and te Life is its only
remedy.
Death holds no terror to the
Christian who has become Joint
heirs with the Resurrection
and the Life-who believes that
God so loved the world that he
gave His only begotten Son
that whoSoever accepts Him.
follows Him. believes in Him,
shall not perish but have ever
lasting life. Death holds no ter
ror to the child of God that
has been truly born again. to
the pure in heart. who shall see
God, to the poor in spirit VINO
shall possess the Kingdom Of
God, to the meek who shall in
herit the earth, to those that
hunger and thirt after right
eounesS who shall be filed with
the Spirit OF God. TO the merci-
full who shall experience the
love Of God. to the peacemak-
ers who shall be stamped as
the children Of God. Death
holds no terrorS TO the ailing
Christian who gently falls
asleep safe in the arms Of
Jesus.
The sting Of death is for the
man in sin who gives a deaf
ear TO the cry OF salvation, the
man who is satisfied to walk
though the valley and shadow
Of death alone. who believes
that he can taste for himself
that bitter cup Of the garden.
The sting Of death is for the
man who faces judgment with
out a Saviour. without an adj
vocste or mediator. Gods pay
day is near and each man shall
be awarded according to his
works There shall he receive
good for good and evil for evil.
For on that day he that lives
filthy and dies filthy. lei him De
condemned as filthy; he that
lives a liar, dies a liar. let rim
be condemned as a liar he
that lives a hypocrite, dies a
hypocrite. let him be condemn
ed as a hypoCFite and he that
lives in sin and dies In sin. let
him Be condemned into the
lake Of birthstone and FIRE
where there shall Dc weeping
an dwailing and gnaShing Of
teeth. o sin can enter Heaven
and no unhOly man can ap-
preach a Holy God except ne
be crying for holiness, but on
that DAY it shah be too late.
Life IS bitter. eternity S
sweet. life is short. eternity IS
long. earth is filed with sorroE
and tribulaton, Heaven is fun
of JOY and rest. beauty and
comfort. and God is calling you
