LIFE

DEATH

A few weeks ago I awoke thinking

"Who says Tom will go before me?"

None of us know when our day will come

We do know...it will come

"And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment"

Hebrews 9:27

We all will die

What is death?

I'm realizing death is more about those of us left behind

How a person's death changes us

An integral part of who we are...now gone

Who am I without Tom?

Wife, now widow

But...still the bride of Christ

I am a child of the KING

Prepared to CARRY ON in light of the...

pain

loneliness

quietness

newness

I have hope

I will see him again

And when I do...it will all be clear

The questions answered with one look at my SAVIOR

For those of us who have placed our trust in

JESUS CHRIST

Death is when real life begins

"We have a measure of freedom in this life,

followed by an ETERNITY where your choices in this life will be spent."

-Jim Custer

What are you doing with this life?

It doesn't matter how long or short it is...

it's never enough

without Christ

Neither Tom nor I want this experience wasted

If this gives us a better platform to share what Christ came to do for us,

for YOU,

we accept

Do YOU accept what Christ came to do?

Bring you FREEDOM

Freedom from yourself

Your sin

Your flesh

Your hopelessness

Your lostness

Your DEATH

"It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance,

that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, among whom I am foremost of all."

I Timothy 1:15

As we celebrate the ultimate HOLYday

EASTER

Can you look to the cross

With a sense of hope?

"For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing,

but to us who are being saved it is the power of God."

I Corinthians 1:18

It is our prayer that this Easter you look to the cross

Realize the penalty for OUR sins was paid in FULL

Accept the payment

Accept JESUS

Knowing

"The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness,

but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance."

II Peter 3:9

Jesus conquered DEATH

The cross was not the end

HE IS RISEN

"Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified.

He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said."

Matthew 28:5-6
