FACTS ABOUT DEATH: DEATH IS UNAVOIDABLE
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. Facts About Death
Hebrews 9:27
27 And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment.
a) We look at a single Bible verse which tells us five facts about death. Knowing these facts helps us understand and prepare for death. We break this text up into five portions, each of which implies a certain fact about death.
b) Here is one of them.
2. Death Is Unavoidable
a) In the phrase "It is appointed for man to die once..." we find our fact, that death is unavoidable.
b) When Hebrews 9:27 says, that death "is appointed", it might be stating the obvious, yet most people live as if death is unlikely!
c) We have birth control, but not death control. It is inevitable that "the silver cord is loosed and we fly away" (Ecclesiastes 12:6; Psalms 90:9-10). Such language as that, is usually reserved for funerals, yet it expresses a fact of everyday life: All of us, sooner or later, must keep a personal, unavoidable, appointment with death.
