Dear Friends,

1. Reminds Me of Our Mortality

So many people right now are fearful of dying. Now, don’t get me wrong: we need to do our best to look after our health and protect our families, but this situation should remind us that ultimately, death comes to all. In Luke, we read about Jesus discussing the death of people:

Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them: do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others who lived in Jerusalem? No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish (Luke 13:4–5).

Note His response: “Repent.” In other words, this was their turn to die, and one day it will be your turn, so make sure your heart is right before the Lord. The overriding issue is that people need to be saved! Yes, what we see happening around us is alarming from a human perspective, but Christians shouldn’t fear death. They should be helping those who do fear it hear the most vital message of all time: the saving gospel.

God reminds us in his Word that we can’t add a single hour to our life span:

And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life (Matthew 6:27)?

Certainly, we need to be responsible in looking after ourselves, but it’s important to be reminded that God is in control regarding when someone dies.
