In moments like this, it looks like death is wrong. But the bible says that love is stronger than death. Our hearts are heavy, tears flow down. Our spirits are wounded. This world is amazing when we look around and everybody we love and everybody we can count on and everybody we can trust seems to be slipping through our fingers. And it feels as though death is wrong. The first family, when Cain killed able, it seemed like death had won. Noah escaped the flood. Still he died. It looked like death had won. Isaiah was an eagle-eye prophet, he could see thousands of miles and years away. Still he died. It looked like death had won. Jeremiah had come as a prophet to Israel, spoke truth so powerful and so profound, but no matter how close he was to God, still he died. It looked like death had won. Weve seen scientists and astronauts and politicians and great thinkers of the ages and no matter how profound and prolific or bright they were, still they died. It looked like death had won. But the bible says that love is stronger than death. I know to some of you today it looks like death has won. But 2,000 years ago love fought with death. Love said “death, youve been bullying people for a long time but I want to demonstrate that Love is greater than death”. They fought all over Jerusalem and through the cross and the fight went down to the grave and death said, see love, I did to you just like I did all the rest of them. But early Sunday morning, love snatched death and took the sting out of death and the victory out of the grave. I want you to understand in a very simple and understandable way that DEATH HAS NOT WON. Your tears may flow. Your pain may come. The flowers will run dry. Cell phone may stop ringing. Dont you dare think that death has won. People that you really love, they may leave you outwardly, but they never leave you inwardly. May the love of God, the peace of the Holy Spirit, the wisdom of knowing that we are children of God keep us through this period in life when it might appear as if death has won, but love is alive. You will always be in my heart daddy...
