Hebrews 2 [The Message]

The writer (probably Paul) states, “By embracing death, taking it into himself (Christ Jesus), he destroyed the Devil’s hold on death and freed all who cower through life, scared to death of death.” Jesus removed from us the sting and fear of death. Because we know the reward that awaits us in Heaven, we may even look forward to death. I know my father, David Demos, did.

Paul said to be absent from the flesh was to be present with the Lord. [2 Cor. 5:8] I have been diagnosed with an incurable blood cancer, Multiple Myeloma. Do I fear death? Absolutely NOT. “The life which I live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God Who loved me and gave Himself for me.” [1 Jn. 5:12] Each day I live is a gift and an opportunity to serve the Lord and enjoy the family that I LOVE!
