Fear of Death
(Hebrews 2:14-15 – Fear of Death) This scripture gives us a good insight into the death that Jesus went through. It also shows that the reason He died was to set us free from the fear of death. Fear of death is the one thing that affects every person on this earth. Everyone knows that…

Choosing between Life and Death
Finding that place of peace and equanimity where choosing between life and death is of any consequence is a powerful thing and is possible only in Christ Jesus. This is a place we all as Christians should think about and aspire to.

The Law Ends At Death
(Romans 7:1) The title of this post may seem to be blindingly obvious because who can possibly break the law after they have died? It’s impossible to even consider such a thing isn’t it? Absolutely! Once a person dies they can’t do anything, say anything, act or behave in any way at all. So how…

Wages Of Sin
(Romans 6:23) There are a few scriptures in the bible that are so well known that they have moved into common usage amongst both Christians and non-Christians alike. This verse is one of those which says, For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus…

Jesus Could Not Be Held By Death
(Acts 2:22-24) Jesus died at Calvary. We all know that. We also know that He was resurrected from the dead three days after He had been put to death because Jesus could not be held by death. But why? What was the reason why He could not be held by death? And also is there…

(John 17:11-20) Jesus makes a clear distinction between His people and the people of this world. He separates Christians from the people of the world in an unusual way. The children of God, according to the words of Jesus, are not of this world as He said in verses 14-16. 14 I have given them…

Lazarus Dies
(John 11:5-16) In my last post we looked at what Jesus did and said when a messenger came to Him saying that Lazarus was ill. We see in this section of scripture that Jesus loved Martha, Mary and Lazarus so it is certain that they were good friends and Jesus would help His friends just…

Bringing the Dead Back to Life
(John 5:25-29) You might think I am talking about the resurrection with this title, but you would be mistaken. Ok…so I might mention the resurrection, but in my opinion this section of scripture is not talking about the resurrection, at least not totally, but is talking about something else. Let's have a look at what…

Be Afraid. Be Very Afraid!
(Luke 12:4-7) Well as the title says, there is something we need to “Be afraid, be very afraid” of. The Lord talks about it here in this section of scripture. Its more a “who” to be afraid of rather than “what” we should fear. And Jesus goes to some length to explain why people need…

The Two Deaths
(Luke 8:49-56) The perspective that the Lord has of life and death is quite different to the way people think of these things. It is a commonly held belief that when a person dies, that is the end. There is no coming back and nothing more to say or do. When it’s over, it’s over…
