John, Well done!

Your reflection reminded me of a statement told to me by my Dad as he was dying from liver cancer. He said, “Do not worry about dying Son, instead worry about living.” Our focus should be toward “Life” both here and on into eternity and the good works we are able do in service to others…

Hey Chris.
The Title, “Death to Death”, is what Christ gave to us by dying on the cross. He achieved the death of the state of death as it was known to be then. Now, death is not the end, but only the beginning. His death accomplished that for us.

Thanks John for reminding us of our duty as children of God to to prepare ourselves to meet the Lord at His second coming together with the faithful departed . Continue the good work of inspiration. God bless you and guide you through everything. Amen.

I remember the movie Heaven is for Real. Also Miracles from Heaven, and my favourite To Heaven and Back about surgeon and scientist Dr. Mary Neal. I’ve seen her interviewed many times. Her story is extremely compelling, especially when she talks about some scientific tests she performed about her experience after her recovery. Thank you John. P.S. I am curious about the title of your reflection Death to Death?

God bless

Thank you for this timely reflection. I was thinking about death last night after watching the movie, “The Hostiles.” It was hard to watch at times, as it portrayed the reality of violence and hardship that resulted from the murdering of natives and settlers in the late 1800’s United States West. Thanks be to God, as Christians, we do not live for our lives here on earth. We live for eternal life in Heaven. Thank you for the reminder.

Hey John,

Pretty thought provoking reflection.

I do disagree with quite a few things you said, but I give you credit for bring up what is for the most of us a depressing subject, death.

I did run across a quote the other day that seems very appropriate for the topic:

“In the final analysis, for the believer there are no questions, and for the non-believer there are no answers.” – Chaim

Thank you John. A wonderful reflection. It reminds us of the hope in eternal life. Jesus was trying to get this point across for his entire ministry…he’s still working on it through people like you. Blessings to you!
