Mark
14:28 KJV
But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee .
The "matter of fact"
nature of Christ's statement concerning His resurrection must have brought
wonder as well as comfort to His disciples. Jesus made plans for His post
resurrection life as if it was something like
- "After I return from the
grocery." or
- "After I get home from
work."
His death was not even a hiccup
in His plans.
- He would continue living
- He would continue meeting with His
disciples
- He would continue winning the lost
And so we would be best to view
our own demise. It is anything but a cessation of life. It only is life after
the death event. We would do well to make our plans for after we are risen:
- Plans concerning our relationship
with God
- Plans concerning the treasures we
have laid up in heaven
- Plans concerning those we wish to
meet when we get there
For the Christian death is no
defeat. It is only our step into life after we are risen.
