Got pricked by a potent, solemn depiction of life:
What the picture illustrates, according to my interpretation is this:
Life's a maze that we get lost in. We explore, learn, discover and grow while progressing through this maze and the decisions we make may bring us forward or backward. There's only one way out of this life - death.
However, the grim reaper can't touch me...
"For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in Him. According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord Himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage one another with these words."
1 Thessalonians 4:14-18
So take heart! For...
He will swallow up death forever.
The Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears from all faces;
He will remove His people’s disgrace from all the earth.
The Lord has spoken.
In that day they will say,
“Surely this is our God;
we trusted in Him, and He saved us.
This is the Lord, we trusted in Him;
let us rejoice and be glad in His salvation.”
Isaiah 25:8-9
The war's been won but the battle isn't over. Christ is the ruling party, but Satan still runs the opposition party. So live life with faith, hope and purpose my friends, for we already know our final destination.
"We are not fighting FOR victory, we are fighting FROM victory."
