"Give ㄋ a One-Way Ticket" | Is death a fear or joy?
Is the word "death" frightening or joyful?
Perhaps most people will question why there is a "joy" mood. Even if everyone turns a deaf ear, it cannot be denied that there is a class of people in the world who think that death is better than living.
I will not analyze the mentality and motivation of such people here. From a personal standpoint, I tend to look forward to "death".
When I was young, I had often pondered the topics of "Why live?", "What is the purpose of living?" and so on. I admit that these kinds of problems rarely arise for children from wealthy families. Most children from poor families will struggle for a living every day, and they can't help but doubt their own meaning of existence.
And me, not just these things. When I was a child, I already understood the real purpose behind other people's panic words on the surface. I saw different hypocrisy and cunning methods every day. At that time, I felt "uncomfortable".
In the age of hard work, thousands of false masks appeared. It's even more disgusting for those who do anything to get their ends.
Living in this world, it seems that there is no choice. If you don't be in the company of others, you will be isolated and arrogant. Later, I believed in Jesus, entered the Christian faith, and found that there are good people in the world. In addition, it also made me have greater expectations for "death".
Christianity advocates "believe in Jesus and have eternal life." Jesus overcame death and entered eternal life. In other words, we humans also enter eternal life through faith.
According to the Bible, at the end of the age, when Jesus returns, there will be an approval, and then the new heaven and new earth will come.
The concept of a new heaven and a new earth originates from Christian teaching, recorded in the twenty-first chapter of Revelation, the apostle John wrote: I saw a new heaven and a new earth, because the previous heaven and earth have passed away, and the sea is no more (Revelation Record 21:1)
The new heaven and new earth is God’s wonderful promise to his people, and it is also a wonderful and eternal kingdom in the future. All the saved saints can live with Christ in this kingdom. With the holy city of New Jerusalem as the capital, all living beings are in God Rejoice under the rule of love.
In the new heaven and new earth, the pure and fresh air is refreshing, the earth has become a big exhibition stand for Zhuoyue, human beings are no longer bound by the time limit of life, the children of God who are immortal have unlimited space for development, and they too They are no longer limited to the earth, but can freely explore the endless space of the universe. They are constantly seeking knowledge, and their wisdom is constantly growing. All kinds of human talents must be developed and their strength must be enhanced. All the treasures of the universe are to be opened for study by the people of God, who are to spread their wings and fly to the outer worlds to share joy and wisdom, knowledge and treasure with those who have never sinned.
The above is a description of the new heaven and new earth. For those who are looking forward to death, this is good news.
No matter how good the new heaven and new earth are, even if I am dead at this moment, I will not arrive immediately. In other words, I also have to work hard in the world until the moment I actually die.
My opinion can be summed up as follows: I am not afraid of death, and there may be money or personnel that we care about in this world, but seeing how beautiful the world is after death, I am not afraid of the so-called loss. Regarding personnel affairs, as long as the people I value are the same as my beliefs, then the new heaven and new earth will be reunited.
