The Reality

"And Christ lives within you, so even though your body will die because of sin, the Spirit gives you live because you have been made right with God."  Romans 8:10


As I sit with my father in the hospital I deeply feel the reality of the consequence of the fall.  The body does fail and it is not a lovely thing.  It is emotionally and physically painful.  The ray of light that filters through it all is the Spirit given life.  Yes, my dad has been made right with God through the saving power of Jesus blood.  Because of that, as I watch his body give way, I am assured that he has life.  That Spirit given life gives hope through this painful process.  Thank you, Jesus, for giving Your life so that we might live...live beyond these frail bodies.
