That death post wore me out. It poured out of me with such a force (thank you, sweet Spirit) that I barely thought while it was flowing out. And I certainly didn't proof it well. I resisted going back and cleaning it it up - I felt like I needed to leave it raw.
But I do want to clarify one thing.
Death wasn't actually ever in God's plan.
We messed that up in Genesis 3.
So death is a result of sin.
But not the final say in sin, because we know that Jesus' death conquered death once and for all. And His death conquers sin. And in the end, Jesus' death will forever wipe away death because we will live forever with Him. For billions and billions of years. (I'm resisting the urge to say "ACK!" Yes, it never ends. Some how. Some way.)
It's where our hope springs from and where our hope rests. In Christ and in His death that wiped away our death.
I just couldn't let that go.
