According to the Oxford Dictionary, ‘death’ means an irreversible ending of life, destruction; it somehow means the end complete. But that’s not how it really is. According to the Bible, it is not an ending.... it is just the beginning of a true existence, one that will never have to end or stop... something that will be forever.
For some, death will be the start of pain, sorrow - an eternal misery, one from which there will be no running away or hiding; for that pain will be like a part of their body... of their existence. Nothing they did will make it easier or reverse the moments, for it will go on forever just like that, no matter how sorry they may feel or how much they repent, it will not mean anything... not anymore, for the time for that... the gate of grace and forgiveness will already be closed for them. These people are the ones who live every moments of their life, here on earth, just the way they want it - running around like a wild animal, just living out their lives never knowing what kind of fate awaits them. They turn their eyes away from God, never listening to His words of love and His calls. But the time will come when God will have to turn His back on them, and that time will be such a big nightmare from which there will be no more waking up. For them, beyond death, it’s all pain, destruction and darkness... down to oblivion; no more hopes, no more love, no more forgiveness, no more sunshine... all for eternity.
There are some who live each day, each moment not for themselves but for others through God’s guiding light. They repent when God stretched out His loving arms of forgiveness, they heard His voice and heed to His calls, go out to the world spreading His love, helping their brothers and sisters who are so lost and discouraged in this world that we have created. They separate themselves from the bloodshed and the wicked dirty ways of the world. They are fighters, survivors and the braves.
For these people, for God’s people, death means victory - for the battle will be over once they have cross the river, no more attacks from Satan; they will be beyond the reach of Satan. That’s when the heaven will roar with rejoices and praises,
and a shout of victory. Then, beyond death, no more fear, no more hurt. They will not be hungry anymore, they will never have to be afraid, they will be wrapped in the brightness of God’s love which will light the heaven, with no heavy burden and heavy heart; they will be in a place filled with joy, happiness and love, and even if tears fall, it will only be because of joy. They will be home... on the day that their lives in this world ends, it’ll be a big homecoming. The beautiful angels and seraphim, the saints and all their loved ones who had already perished before them will meet them near the pearly gate of heaven. Then, they will see their Father, their God who love them and who wiped all their tears away when they were stabbed by the things that the world could offer, when Satan and his disciples wound them. It’ll be a great reunion, for they will meet their loved ones who had departed before them. God promise us that He will give us peace and this will be the peace that He had promised us, and it will be for always... it will never end or fade away.
Sometimes, we may be afraid to die but it is a fate that we all, at one time, will have to face. But once we let Jesus in our hearts, all of these will be gone. For once we know His love for us, repent and heed to His calls, death will not be an ending or a fearful fate, it will be the gateway to freedom... to a very beautiful and new life which will never have to end. Praise the Lord and glory be to Him who turn death into life.... Amen.
