AN EVERYDAY OCCASION

AN EVERYDAY OCCASION

Wednesday, January 31, 2018

Genesis 2:17; Hebrews 9:27 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. … it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

  Christian friend Guinevere (NRN) called this week to notify us that having completed tests and being informed that with treatment she could live 18-24 months, without treatment 3 to 6 months. She has opted for no treatment.

  How could she possibly arrive at the decision to give up a possible additional 15 to 18 months of life?

·         Living her life as believer trusting God, seeing life in term eternal.

·         Living her life as believer trusting Jesus efficacy, seeing “terminal” as “transitional”.

·         Living her life as believer trusting The Great Physician, seeing Him as the center of health.

·         Living her life believing The Word written and Living, seeing death as “An everyday occasion.”

  Guinevere’s decision stands true to God, far above the maddening crowd fearfully clamoring for extreme healthcare to provide a few more moments this side of transit.

  Considering the reality of our already living in eternity, trial here being brief span within everlasting, knowing physical death inevitable, how do we plead?
