“Oh wretched man that I am! who shall
deliver me from the body of this death?”
Paul
I am getting old. Aging is the physical manifestation of
sin. We die. God’s salvation through Christ is the remedy
for death, the greatest evil eliminated by the Greatest Good. In this truth we can understand the
statement,
“The figure is that of a live man
with a dead body chained to him, carrying around a decaying corpse as
punishment.” E. Stanley Jones
When one thinks about the glory of
being alive we cannot simultaneously believe that death is the culmination of
that glory. That is the most absurd
contradiction in the cosmos. Do not
allow yourself to be entertained out of this consideration.
P.S. My dark woods are filled with the songs of love birds courting one another which makes the above thoughts understandable.
