Blindness

Death has been thrown in my face lately. Death. The more and more I learn about life and Jesus, the more and more I come to realize about death. Death for some carries connotations of pain, of suffering, of ending. For some, death brings fear, mostly of the unknown, for we profess Christ, but on our deathbed, in the last second of life, we come to know whether we really trust Him or not. Are there ghosts? Is there an angel? Is there a white light? Who can know? Um, The Dead!! Even Paul and John inspired by the Holy Spirit couldn't figure out a way to tell us, much less books like 90 minutes in heaven! So what is it like? What is Gehenna like? What about Abraham's Bosom? Where are we really going? What really happens to our bodies? The only thing I know is that for those found in Christ, the more we die, the more we are reborn. Reborn to what, we cannot know and no one can tell us. Medeline L'Engle and others have described it like this : Suppose there is a planet where people don't have eyes. When they die they go to a planet where they have eyes. How would you be able to describe sight to them while they were still blind?
