☠️ Death Can Wait ✝️

There is a direct connection between the resurrection of Jesus and our future hope.  There is also a direct connection between the resurrection of Jesus and our present rest and security. This is hope that can stand in the middle of the deepest difficulties of life; hope that won’t fade in the face of disappointment and discouragement; hope that doesn’t die in the face of pain and loss and it is only found at the empty tomb of the Lord Jesus Christ. There we find our future hope; there we find our present rest; He is our future; He is our King; He is risen, and His name is Jesus.

In this week's PathLight, we are reminded that Jesus is defeating one enemy after another right now.  He is empowering you to defeat every enemy that comes against you.  Yet, He is saving the enemy of death for last.  Why?  Because death poses no real threat for you and I.  Death has no sting and  the grave has no victory.  We want Jesus to destroy that enemy now, but in His wisdom, He knows you have bigger enemies than death to overcome.  That’s why…death…can wait.
