Of Death
Sermon by James BeaubelleThis sermon explores the biblical reality of death, including its inevitability, complex meaning, and hope for eternal life through the sacrifice and resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. The subject of death recurs throughout the entirety of Scripture, beginning with God's warning to our father Adam in Genesis to the warnings of the "second death" in Revelation, demonstrating that it constitutes a central theme of human existence. While many mistakenly view death as a vague transition or displacement of cosmic energy, Scripture affirms that death is real, appointed to all, and occurring under God's sovereign authority. Ecclesiastes stresses that life and death ae inextricably linked, though foolish choices can hasten life's end. No one ever dies outside God's will, even the tiny sparrow, but God values humans created in His image on a higher level. Christ urged His disciples not to fear men, but to fear God, who alone has power over life and death. If we reflect on God's sovereignty which is displaced across the entirety of creation, we can deduce that God has power over death and promises us resurrection from the dead. It is Jesus Christ Who has died and now lives forever who holds the keys of death and Hades. For Christ's chosen saints, death is not the final end, but a passage toward eternal life. While the world offers distractions, God alone provides true comfort, healing broken hearts as well as offering hope beyond the grave. We cannot deny or escape death, but trust God, who promises resurrection and restoration. We must develop deep trust in Christ's resurrection, realizing that He alone has conquered death and offers to us eternal life.
