"Death as the cure."

another great post from Ann Voskamp @Holy Experience

excerpt:

And death, because of His, is deliverance.

“View death not as the disease that permanently spoils life, but rather as the only cure to the disease of life,” writes Philip Yancey. “For sin has permanently stained all life, and only through death --- Christ’s death and our own – can we realize a cured, sinless state.”

Life as the disease. Death, when He calls, as the cure. Christ rebirthing us into the real reality.


not entirerly sure why this line of thinking is so enthralling me. perhaps there have been too many deaths near me this past year.
