Revelation 22:4 (NIV)
4 They will see his face, and his name will be on
their foreheads.
One of the great bonuses of being a Christian is the great
hope that extends beyond the grave into the glory of God’s tomorrow. A little
girl was running toward a cemetery as the darkness of evening began to fall.
She passed a friend who asked her if she was not afraid to go through the
graveyard at night. “Oh, no,” she said, “I’m not afraid. My home is just on the
other side!” We Christians are not afraid of the night of death because our
heavenly home is “just on the other side.” The resurrection of Christ changed
the midnight of bereavement into a sunrise of reunion; it changed the midnight
of disappointment into a sunrise of joy; it changed the midnight of fear to a
sunrise of peace. Today faith and confidence in the resurrected Christ can
change your fear to hope and your disappointment to joy.
Thought for today:
Do I surrender my fears or am I afraid of appearing weak?
