Death and Dying (27)
  1. God doesn't help those who help themselves. He saves those who can't do anything for themselves.
  2. When God's Word went to the cross and made full payment for all our sinful, self-serving, self-seeking activities, and then rose from the dead, Jesus added an "always and forever" to our days and life.
  3. Instead of remaining silent when we wonder if someone is struggling with suicidal thoughts, and rather than judging for ourselves whether or not suicide is an unforgivable sin, let's lean on God's Word.
  4. One moment, we pray for our rescue from sin and death. The next moment, we beg our Father to do unto others what we hope he will never do to us.
  5. So long as we entrust death to Jesus, new life is ours. He has lunch ready and he is waiting for us in the power of his resurrection.
  6. Jesus doesn’t talk about God’s love for us; he embodies it.
  7. Pain is our birthright, but Jesus’ resurrection is our irrevocable end.
  8. Death can make us feel like tourists or strangers traveling across the landscape of someone else’s life.
  9. Where Jesus says, “She’s not dead, she’s sleeping,” death dies.
  10. When our mind betrays us, our body fails us, and our soul can’t be comforted, our Jesus now saves us.
  11. Jesus opened our ears and mouth when He baptizes us. Jesus put His fingers into our ears, speaks to us, and washes our sins away.
  12. His consolation will accompany us in the midst of sickness and death. He will strengthen us, even strengthen us to carry the cross of old age.
