Death
Ecclesiastes: Wisdom and Death
Every day is someone’s last day. But for those who know Jesus as my dad did, our final day on earth becomes our first day in heaven. When believers are absent from the body, they are present with the Lord. So, here is the one question on life’s exam you must know the answer to. When your body is in a box under the sun, where will your soul be?
The Resurrection and the Life
Believers follow Jesus through life, death, and glorious resurrection. Anyone who believes in Jesus “shall never die.” That’s the Good News!
Lion of the Tribe of Judah
Jesus, as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, is seen as one who battles on behalf of his people. He defeated the last enemy, death itself!
Righteous
With Jesus, our verdict is, “Not guilty!” His sacrifice provides full pardon. The Righteous sets the sinner free!
Founder and Perfecter of Our Faith
The Christian faith begins and ends with Jesus. Fix your eyes on him!
High Priest
God’s wrath is turned aside from us because of Jesus’ completed work on the cross. His atoning work gives us eternal life!
King of Kings
God is not only our King; he alone is supreme, the “blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords.”
Lord
Today, believers proclaim that Jesus is their personal Lord. He is the One we love and follow. He is our master, the One in charge of our lives. The true believer proclaims: Jesus is Lord!
Firstfruits
The true believer moves from life to death to life. One day our souls will be absent from our bodies and present with the Lord.
