Life isn’t something you possess; you embody life! Venturing into a never-travelled path allowed me to witness the thankfulness in the creation of nature. This thankfulness took root in my very being, for we are all made from the same clay. We received from God the skies, day and night, trees, air, wind, and the ground beneath our feet. A period of days was given to us called space and time. This time is to pass from death to life, or from a fallen nature to a resurrected state.
We have an intense desire to fulfill our destined life purpose. As the prayer called out; postpone our dreams no longer, Lord. At long last, do what you were born to do. This cry, from deep within, seeks God’s presence to guide us to our destination.
Our body is mortal, but our soul is immortal. The concept is difficult for most people to grasp. Death isn’t a common topic of conversation, due to a general lack of knowledge, which applies to me as well.
Fear of death stems from our ignorance of what comes after. Yet, knowing you’re already eternally bound removes all fear, doesn’t it? Your passage to eternal life is already part of your being. As if another film frame were being shot, it’s like experiencing this shot in a different space. Space would morph as time would cease to exist. The thankfulness we have for our physical bodies comes from the realization that it enabled us to move, eat, hug, and speak. The love we share with loved one's moves us profoundly, yet those bonds will endure forever. Our tasks will end on earth as eternity begins, marking our passage from the present to the future.
Jesus Christ’s resurrection involved overcoming death and detaching from his physical form. The concept of offering oneself as a living sacrifice gains deeper significance when one considers Jesus’ acceptance of death and his surrender of his body. He understood that he would rise again. Miraculously, the corpse transformed from mortal to immortal, reanimating to walk among us. AMAZING! That phenomenon is beyond scientific explanation. The earthly resurrection of Jesus reveals a capacity for change, exceeding the limitations of our world.
The tomb is our path, and we’ll come out the other side. To journey across space in resurrected states. On earth as it is in Heaven!
