Friends, have you not heard the saying that death is not the end, but a particular, definite opportunity to enter the eternal, never-ending race? This race is not fear or dread, but hope and promise. It is the race that leads us into the Presence of God, where time no longer binds us and love knows no limits.

Let us cultivate a mindset that does not shrink from what is certain. Death is not a defeat—it is a doorway. And through that doorway, we run not as victims, but as victors. Jesus Christ, through His Resurrection, has shown us that the grave is not the final word. The final word belongs to God, and it is life everlasting.

So, remember this: we all have the opportunity to enter the eternal, never-ending race—not in despair, but in triumph. Reflect daily on this truth. Thoughtfully run as a winner, with your eyes fixed on the Author and Finisher of our faith—Jesus Christ.

JESUS IS LORD
