The Joy of Death

JOY OF DEATH..
What is death?
Why is death so painful?
Is there hope for the dead?
Can death bring joy?
  Death...death is a mystery,its a phenomenon that cannot be avoided,a test which must be taken and an exam that cannot be failed.Death is a master of its own,its not a respecter of persons,its wild and full of pride cos it stands undefeated..it has no rival,its the only end to good and bad destination.
Death is an everyday truth that only a handful bravely face it.We know that we will die one day but the mystery still remains that no one knows when.Another mystery is that it strives and grows in its pride through the fear that people has for it.
Death is the end of every living thing,it doesnt matter how rich or poor,young and old,sick or healthy,generous or stingy etc
  Death is a pain filled event for most people. It means never sharing ur good times,bad times with that particular person. Death is like the hand of clock that cannot be reversed.when u realize that that life form,entity,that love can never be seen again...its painful.The first experience I had in losing someone I love,my young grandpa(Dadi);its still like a bad dream to me,that for the rest of my remaining yrs on earth..I ll never see him again. Hmm..death
 The only hope for the dead is only after death,but the truth still is,not everyone has this hope of after death. The hope after death is determined by ur relationship with ur creator,how accountable u are to the One who is able to destroy both the soul and flesh..If u dont have this blessed hope of being welcomed by Him,then am sorry to say this,u are eligible for the second death which torments the soul.Physical death is not the bus stop.
  So far it seems as if death is an evil omen,that its the worst thing that can happen to one,that its a thing of sorrow but am still here to tell u that there is joy of death.
Joy of death,not just sorrows.
Death brings to an end to all physical suffering,it brungs relief and liberates u...
  but the true joy of death comes when u have finished ur race;just like apostle Paul said that he has fought a good fight,he has finished his course..death grants rest physically and spiritually only when u are dead in Christ.
The joy of death is only granted to those who have a relationship with the uncreated creator.
The bible says"he who holds his life shall loose it but he who is ready to  loose his life for God's kingdom sake will have it" Death has no power over the brave! Death in Christ unites u to the Father...
To live is Christ and to die is gain...phil 1 vs 21.
Oh the Joy of Death..
