2 Timothy 1:10 "but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel."
Before you are motivated to take the medicine you must grasp the nature and gravity of your illness. The verse above identifies the physician and the cure for the most common and most severe illness (eternal death resulting from sin's separation). Many of us, at one time, thought we were alive when we were really dead and pretended this life would go on forever as we denied the reality of physical death and ignored the question of what lay beyond. Because of Jesus we can face death's reality because He has loosed its grip on us. He has exposed death as a limited enemy and has triumphed over it revealing the wonder of eternal life and the hope of a brilliant future that goes through death as a Christmas shopper moves through a revolving door and passes from the cold of winter to the warmth and light of holiday displays.
In 2008 my goal will be to "Behold Him" and attempt to look at Jesus from many angles and see what can learn and apply. Joy, peace and His presence be yours each day.
blessings,
Rob Smith
