A wise man was out walking, and he saw a lovely baby in a pram full of life,and the wise man said,'but this child shall die.As he walked on he saw a young lad came skipping along,full of the joys of spring,and the wise said ,'he also shall die. As he continued his walk he observed coming out a church,a young couple that had just got married,and he thought about their future,getting a home,having children,and many other things,and then he said ,'they also shall die'.As he walked along he met an old man whom he spoke to,the old man shared many things with him,his past joys ,and even his hope for the future,and as the wise man walked away from him,he thought,'he also shall die'.Why does this world have such a stench of death about it,we are reminded of this in many ways in the continual wars that are raging,and the dreadful natural disasters..It was Martyn Lloyd Jones, who wrote, 'from the moment we are born ,we are dying'. He also said,''that all the trouble in the world today is due to the fact that man is not right with God.'This is because sin has entered into the world ,and the moment it came death became a reality.(Genesis 2 v17/ Romans 5 v12.),Yes the grim fact is this we all shall die,but there is hope,for our lovely Saviour Jesus died that even though we die we shall live (John 11 v25).Through Him sin can be forgiven ,and a new life will be granted to all who trust Him as one's Saviour.
