I've decided to die just after Christmas,so read the words in the news paper,the person who said this has cancer,for which she is being treated for. She has decided that she does not want any more chemo,and so she is letting the natural way do its bit. This dear lady has cancer she wants to call it a day I would not criticize her,it is her decision.Death is the great unmentionable in our society,and yet I heard of a lady who spoke on the phone about her dying,she was very positive about it.She was a Christian,and she felt ready to face death,as a Christian, how positive would I be as regards my own death?..There are those who don't want hear if they have cancer,and are going to die,which is understandable,I am not going to judge them,but to be forewarned is to be forearmed.In other words we have an opportunity maybe for the first time in ones life to prepare for death, and that cannot be a bad thing.Yet as A.Motyer writes ,/life has its own peculiar preciousness which not even the illumination of immortality[2 Timothy1 v10] takes away/.Now that's very true for many reasons,but the fact still remains that we need with an urgency to prepare for death,the question is why and how?.Well the why,the Bible tells us that there is an after death existence,when we will all appear before a holy God who will judge us,we are sinners that leaves us to face His judgement.So that is the why,now the how,that is very simple,by trusting in Jesus all our sins can all be forgiven.
A prayer....../Dear God help us to not bury our head in the sand as regards death,help us to see the need to be prepared when death calls,by trusting Jesus as our Saviour,in His name we ask this. Amen/
