Jesus' Word cuts through the commotion that surrounds death.

Good News Weekly Message

Many of our assumptions about the way life is and how the world works need to be cross-examined and corrected. Once his work on earth was complete, Jesus sent his Holy Spirit to do just that—to be his expert witness to expose our false assumptions and set the record straight. This week the Holy Spirit helps us see that, in Jesus, death is actually sleep. Our senses and experience tell us that death is final. As a result, we assume our best answer for it is prevention. But Jesus demonstrates that he holds the power over death. As a result, death becomes sleep in him. Instead of death being final, it is only temporary. Whenever our own eyes close for the last time, we rest in the confidence of a glorious resurrection.
