O death where is your sting?

 Today I found out that a lady I know has died. She was so very young. It takes my breath away; how fragile we are. That one minute you are here and the next second you are not. My mother had an unexpected death, which is an odd statement since there are no immortals on this earth. Anyway, at her funeral, it brought my family great joy that the pastor took the opportunity to witness about Jesus. As Christ-followers is that not our sole purpose is to tell others about the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. So, to honor my friend, I want to bring joy to her memory by proclaiming her Jesus. 1 Corinthians 15:55-58 reminds us, “O Death, where is your victory? O Death, where is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law; but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord.” My prayers are with the family and friends, still trying to process her death. May we always remember to love others deeply while we have the opportunity because tomorrow is never a guarantee.
