Understanding Life by Understanding Death

Death is a doorway to another life, and the dying person, reluctantly release their spirit, to take up new residence in a different dimension, it is a permanent separation from this life, and death is an event that every person must prepare to face one day.

People die young, and people die old, age has very little to do with dying, it is just part of the unending process, that we all eventually must come to terms with, it would seemed from all indications, that God puts a time limit upon each individual person, some people live long and healthy lives, while others are plague with troubles and suffering.

Death can be seen as a form of capital punishment, for culprits that do things wrong, and it acts like a deterrent, keeping the fear of God over mankind, in the path of his law and order, death is like a victory serenade swallowing up whole life and taking away from earth great wealth, position, power and purpose, leaving the spirit to find energy in the eternal state.

Death comes as a foreign uninvited stranger, and bears a terrible shock to the human system, with disturbing news to rip apart our normal day to day life, the prospect of death is much like lawful bankruptcy of annihilation, which steals our soul and place it in the waiting lounge of purgatory.

This uninvited displeasure of painful surrender, is not something that we are used to, mankind hates pain, suffering was not part of our original make up, somehow we inherited what belongs to another age of disobedience, we much prefer for everything to be perfect, just as it were in the Garden of Eden, and we often find to our detriment, that we will ignore the little warning signs and rules which restrict bodily movements.

The very thought of death, draws nearer to us than we really want to acknowledge, its not an entertaining topic for discussion, rather it’s a painful reminder of our future eternal state, death never really accrue to us until the moment the sting of departing is almost upon us, and then we are laid out sprawled in helpless disposition.

I read somewhere in a book dealing with the troubled Corinthian Christians, that the sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is law, but I never fully understood what that meant, only I am assured that death is the result of sin directly and indirectly, and it would seemed from all indications, that it is an hereditary trait fallen to all mankind.
