WordLive - Year One

DAY 314 OF 366

Prepare: ‘Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?’ (1 Corinthians 15:55). How do you feel about the end of your time on earth? Ask God to draw alongside you as you consider this. Facing death without fear Jacob’s death has long been expected. As deaths go it is a wonderful one. Surrounded by his family, he has said everything he wanted to say and made adequate plans for his burial. He is content, and goes to join ‘his people’ (v 29). As believers in Christ we can all face death similarly without fear. We have all the tools we need, through Christ, to end our lives in peace. We can forgive and bless those around us and we can ask for forgiveness from those we have wronged. Looking forward to eternity Furthermore, we can look forward to eternity with ‘our people’ – and with our Lord. As Paul wrote (quoting Hosea 13:14), through Christ death has lost its sting (1 Corinthians 15:55,56). We may not feel able or qualified to prophesy over our families as Jacob did. We may not even be able to provide financially for their future. But we can offer them the promise of a glorious, eternal life to come. Respond: Pray for your family, near and far. Ask for God’s mercy on them and his abundant blessing! http://www.wordlive.org/Session/Classic/2012-11-09
