Hallow good people! When a mans body dies, his spirit lives on. He is still as much the human person he was before he died; he hasnt lost anything except that he has lost the ability to function in the physical world. His body may be dead but the real person, the spirit man, still has all the consciousness he had before he died. JESUS CHRIST TOLD A STORY IN LUKE CHAPTER 16 ABOUT TWO MEN WHO DIED. ONE WAS A BEGGAR NAMED LAZARUS. The point is not that he was a beggar, but that though he was poor, he had a righteous heart. When he died, he was taken to Abrahams bosom. The second man also died. That man had been rich in the world, but he had not lived a righteous life. NOTE that when he died, his body was buried on the earth, but Jesus said that in hell, he lifted up his eyes and saw Lazarus in Abrahams bosom and he recognized Lazarus. This means that he could still see. Then he called out to Abraham an said, “PLEASE HELP ME!” You see, he could still talk. Abraham spoke back to him and he heard Abrahams voice, imply that he could still hear. The rich man he also said he was thirsty, and not only was he thirsty, he was in agony. So he begged, “PLEASE LET LAZARUS COME AND GIVE ME A DROP OF WATER TO COOL MY THIRST.” Theres yet another point to NOTE. Here- he could still feel. All of his senses were still intact. In fact, he could even remember things because he said, “PLEASE, SEND SOMEBODY AMONG THE DEAD TO GO PREACH TO MY BROTHERS.” He had five brothers on earth, so he thought, MAYBE IF SOMEONE FROM AMONG THE DEAD GOES TO THEM, THEYll BELIEVE HIM! He remembered his brothers! This lets you know that mans spirit lives on. And when a man is born again, it is his human spirit that is born again! Evening good people. #2Corinthians5:17-18) says, “ THEREFORE, IF ANYONE IS IN CHRIST, HE IS A NEW CREATION; OLD THINGS HAVE PASSED AWAY; BEHOLD, ALL THINGS HAVE BECOME NEW. NOW ALL THINGS ARE OF GOD, WHO HAS RECONCILED US TO HIMSELF THROUGH JESUS CHRIST, AND HAS GIVEN US THE MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION.” God bless you!
