Hmmm, Death is a Saddist and definitely not a gentleman, He just barges into a place and forces his will on whoever/whomever he has come to take along...
He's a very unwelcome visitor, but I guess that must also make him feel sad but He also puzzles me; when people ask for his visit, he doesn't come, but those who least expects him, He gladly visits them.
It is quite unfortunate to live a life as Death; for he has no friends, no companion, no one to keep him warm for he's a very cold being. However, he's also generous, for, everywhere he goes, he doesn't fail to leave gifts, unfortunately, no one appreciates or welcomes his gifts because his gifts comprises of sorrow, pain, tears, heartaches, confusion, depression, the list goes on....
However, as Christians, although, we are not immune to the visit of this unwelcome guest called DEATH, still, we have a wild card, the checkmate move which is GOD, in form of the Trinity!
God, the Father: He aches with us, cares for us and makes all things work together for our good despite the pains and confusion.
God, the Son:
Jesus, He gives us hope and a future because through his death and resurrection, we have the hope and assurance that when we die, we don't just fade off but we will all meet again on the resurrection day.
God, the Holy Spirit: Out of three, He's the one present here to comfort us when we ache, give us directions when we are confused and remind us of what God, the Father & the Son has promised us and assuring us that 'All is not going to end this way and that 'All is not in vain'.
So,CHEER UP!
Yes, Our unwelcome visitor will always come, Please, don't make him feel worse than He's already feeling because when you think about his end, his own fate, you will feel pity for him.
This is because for him(i.e Death), from the beginning to the execution of the plan of salvation, which is, more than 2000 yrs ago, we can see that he has been destined to spend eternity in the Lake of Fire, according to the Bible, that is, the Second Death!
So, instead of condemning him, simply pity him, for you have a future, as long as you are in Christ but He does not and there's no one to save him.
God bless you for your Patience and Understanding...
