Laughter in the dark

God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. —John 3:16
The Washington Post newspaper published an article under the title “Death Challenge: The Latest Project of the Tech Titans.” In it, journalist Ariana Cha talks about the great attempts of Peter Tlie and other tycoons to increase the length of human life to infinity. They were ready to spend billions of dollars on this project.

But they were a little late. Death has long been defeated! Jesus said: “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, even if he dies, will live. And everyone who lives and believes in me will never die” (John 11:25-26).

However, it is necessary to clarify something: our bodies will die – and nothing will change that. But that part of our being that thinks, reasons, remembers, loves will never die. It is about the most important component of our nature – what we call “I”.

And now the most important thing: such a life is God’s gift! All that is needed to receive this gift is simply to accept the salvation that Jesus offers. Clive Lewis, thinking about this spiritual truth, compares the gift of salvation with “laughter in the dark”, that is, with something that is very easy to respond to. “It’s too simple,” someone will say. That’s right. God loved us very much before we were born and wants us to be with Him forever.

Dear Jesus, I believe that You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I want to accept You as my Lord and Savior – and follow You. Please forgive my sins and help me, starting from this moment, to live a life pleasing to You.
Christ replaced the black door of death with a shining gate of life.
