Death has died
Does that sound odd?
We read in the Word of God
That Death has died
Death has died
It happened upon a cross
Now its grave grows moss
Because Death has died
Death has died
My every need supplied
The Savior’s blood applied
Hallelujah, Death has died!
1 Thessalonians 5:14-15
14 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.
15 See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.
Brethren – Believers
Unruly – Against Order- Tell them to stop, enact church discipline.
Feeble Minded – Discouraged, Suffering – Encourage, spend time with, pray for.
Weak – Financial, Physical, Spiritual – Support in whatever way we are able to.
All Men – Believers and Unbelievers – Have patience and do good towards all.
Render Evil for Evil – Don’t resort to tit for tat actions.
Which is Good – We are to be a force of good in this world. Good doesn’t always satisfy our emotions, but it satisfies God. “Vengeance is mine, I will repay” To seek retribution for evil done towards us is to usurp God’s position.
