Taking The Sting Out Of Death
Second Lesson Sermons For Advent/Christmas/Epiphany Cycle C
One of the most lasting images in the New Testament is one from Saint Paul: O death, where is thy victory? O death, where is thy sting?
The early Christians asserted that Jesus has taken the sting out of death by demonstrating that it is but a doorway into another realm.
Have you ever been badly stung? If so, you will recognize the importance of removing the pain and being surrounded by a group of fellow laborers, just like the Bible says.
