Everyday we have the choice to exchange death for life. We begin anew every morning even while the world around us continues down the path of wrong, evil, sadness, unfairness, grief, cruelty, suffering, endless temptations, and madness we still can choose goodness, fairness, kindness, and do the right thing. You can consciously say to yourself, “I’ll wait for judgement day, near death, or sometime later”, but the fact still remains that from the time we take our first breath as a newborn babe we begin the journey towards eternal death or eternal life. For the rest of our life on earth this then becomes part of our daily living. You never know when your times up nor whether you’ll even have a chance to make a life choice. Death can be lingering and long suffering or it can be instantaneous. Don’t wait. Choose Life.
“We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.” 2 Corinthians 4:10
