There is nothing more definitive than death. As the Book of Common Prayer says, “Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.” It is an inevitable part of the human condition. Death has been called the great equalizer. Regardless of ethnicity, social status, wealth, or personal accomplishments in this life, death is our common enemy. Perhaps you have had a personal brush with death. Maybe you’ve held the hand of a loved one as they died. You might be facing this cold, cruel reality right now as you battle a deadly disease.
The theme woven throughout Luke’s gospel is that Jesus came to seek and to save the lost. But can he? Can we trust Jesus to save us even from death, the devil’s most powerful, terrifying weapon against us? As we continue on in our salvation story we’ll read the third of three episodes that exhibit Jesus’ power to save. Jesus not only commands the wind and the waves. Not only does he command the devil and his demons. Jesus has defeated even death. Therefore, you can courageously come to Jesus, trusting him with whatever you might be facing today.
