When is death not death? When is life not life? Contradictions? Not really. 2 Corinthians 4:7-15 clears up what death is and what life is. Life and death as taught in this world is different from the life and death taught by our lord Jesus. He was of this world and not of this world. He was born into this world to experience what this world had: which was pain, suffering, death and decay but was not suseptable to death and decay. He is immortal and incorruptable. We started out that way as well but we sinned thus giving in to this worlds death and decay. What does this mean for us? It depends on what you accept of the truth of this existance. True, our bodies suffer pain (as well as every other emotion and experience), decay and death. If that is all you see then you are missing the whole truth. Our bodies are but vessels for our spiritual souls much like the fetus of an unborn baby. We fear the death of that vessel but in trueth the spirit lives on despite the death and decay of the body. Death is not death. It is birth. The true life is not of the body but of the spirual birth. Just as the body must be born and nourished through our mother's body, we as Children of Christ must be born and nourished through this life from the body of Christ.

The splenors of our universe are an awesome reminder of our God's creation. Next week I will show some of these wonders that are closer to home. Until then remember to always "Love The Details." God Bless and Keep you always in His graces.
Fabulous pics Jim. I am fascinated by the night sky!

I have long known that the body is 'just a shell', but that said, while we are still living this side of eternity, it is (most times) a comfortable habitation.
ReplyDeleteGod is so great and his creation reflects that. Thanks for sharing those awesome images
Stay safe
