Death isn´t sad !




Death is life´s ultimate tragedy. That something that always makes a broken heart.
Who hasn´t experienced it ?
And no one can lose a loved one without ending up with a broken heart.

Actually there are a lot of good ways to face the topic of death. In this case the bible is an amazing treasure.

At first take a look at this story and its essence:

One day a young woman lost her three year old son. She told her sister: "I can´t bear the pain and sorrow !"
Her sister replied: "My sister, did you mourn when your son was born ?"
"Of course not !", she answered.
"Well then, you need not to mourn for him now. He has only returned to the same place, his original home, before he was ever born."

This story reveals a basic biblical philosophy. We all have our eternal home in Heaven. We all come from God and we all go back to God.

Just think of death as a transformation, a bit more radical than puberty but in the end it´s just one of the body´s changes. When it happens, it happens. Death isn´t sad. The sad thing is that most people don´t live at all.

Let´s take a closer look at the hope that is found in the bible and especially in Jesus Christ, our Lord and Master:


Romans 8, 38-39:

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[a] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.



John 3, 16:

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.



John 11, 25, 26

Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.


Romans 6:23

The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
