The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
(Psalm 27:1)Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
(John 11:14) We are children of eternity, children of life
This passage from the Bible raises the question of what death and life mean through the lens of Jesus Christ. For believers, there is no real death, only a temporary transition to a perfect and eternal life. Jesus refers to Lazarus' death as a light sleep, and through his resurrection, Lazarus entered into the plan of salvation made possible by Christ. Death has been absorbed by the victory of Jesus on the cross, and believers are children of eternity who rest easy in the knowledge of a perfect and beautiful dream before the presence of the Lord.
