Perspective on Sickness and Death

Unfortunately, illness does not coordinate its arrival with our busy calendars. Sickness and death show up when they please, and can certainly cause even the most devout Christ follower to stumble. According to the great preacher Charles Spurgeon, “Men have been helped to live by remembering that they must die…,” but how can we possibly view death as a gift? The funeral is not the finish line for the child of God, and death is just a transition to eternity once we’ve set our faith in the Son who died to save us. Oftentimes, illness offers unexpected blessing and brings clarity to what is truly important in this earthly life. If you have been struck by sickness or death in any form, perhaps God is calling you to draw closer to Him and take account of what is defining your life. When death reaches us, may we be satisfied in the way we served and sacrificed for others in this life. May we be excited to see the face of Jesus and feel content in the ways we used our gifts to bring heaven to earth.  To learn more, visit kirkcameron.com  To learn more about the sponsor of today’s show and what our family currently uses for our healthcare check out Christian Healthcare Ministries by visiting https://hubs.ly/Q02vWQGy0 Editing and production services provided by thepodcastupload.com Learn more about your ad choices.
