A Meeting Place for Those Who Aren't Afraid of the Border

Two words. One Period. A very big message. “Jesus Wins.” says a lot of things without using a lot of words. Here is the second of (at least) four possible meanings:

2. Death will not Triumph:
I recently watched an artsy film authored by one of the most repsected writer/producers of our day. The film explored a basic question: How can we live a life of meaning in light of death? Though brilliant in its artistry and execution, the film was an exercise in emotional endurance. “Depressing,” doesn’t capture the overall effect. You see, the way we answer the question of meaning will have everything to do with the worldview that gives it context! If this life is all there is, then Death has the final word! But when we say, “Jesus Wins.” we say that Death itself will die (props to John Donne)! Because we believe Jesus triumphed over death, we can live in the assurance that we will as well.

Icing on the cake, John Donne:
Death, be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so;
For those whom thou thinkst thou dost overthrow
Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me…
One short sleep past, we wake eternally,
And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die!
