You may have heard about the man who died after his eighteen-foot snake wrapped itself around his neck. Or the woman who scared off a grizzly bear on a Montana camping trip but was killed when it returned and attacked her in her sleep.
In a real sense, their stories are our stories. The moment we are born, we begin to die. This morning, you and I are one day closer to eternity than ever before. (For more on death in biblical perspective, please see my latest website article, "What happens when you die?")
However, my purpose is not to discourage you but to encourage you in a way all Christians can—and should—embrace. The reality of our mortality is powerfully liberating when we view it through an extremely countercultural but very biblical lens.
