Keeping it Real about Death

.....And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just. Luke 14:14

 

"The resurrection of the just, 

at the second coming of Christ, 

is the time of reward. 

**Nowhere are we given the idea that at death we enter upon our reward. 

That thought is entirely foreign to the Bible. 

 We may rejoice in spite of death, because the love of God is stronger than death; but there is nothing in death itself to cause joy. 

It is an enemy; hateful and cruel. 

The corruption that the body undergoes in death is an indication of its horrid character."  

E.J. Waggoner
