🍚 SMC by Bill McLeod：Our Last Enemy Death

Описание: Bill McLeod from Winnipeg, Canada, shares a powerful message on *our last enemy—death.* Hebrews 9:27 reminds us that *death is an appointment we cannot escape, followed by judgment.* One day, every knee will bow before God, and we will give an account of our lives.

*Death: Enemy or Friend?*
Death is often feared, but for those in Christ, it is different. *1 Corinthians 15:26* calls death our last enemy, but *Jesus conquered it* (Hebrews 2:14, Revelation 1:18). The Old Testament prophesied victory over death (Isaiah 25:8, Hosea 13:14), and Jesus fulfilled it, declaring in *John 11, “I am the resurrection and the life.”* The question remains: *Do you believe this?*

*The Fear of Death*
Many fear death, but *Psalm 23:4* assures us that we need not fear if Christ is with us. Though we still experience physical death, *Jesus abolished the second death—eternal separation from God* (2 Timothy 1:10, Revelation 20:14). Hebrews 2:9 says Jesus *tasted death for everyone* so we wouldn’t have to experience eternal separation.

If you fear death, it may be because you haven’t fully trusted Christ. *Romans 10:13* promises that anyone who calls on the name of the Lord *will be saved.* No elaborate prayer is needed—just a sincere cry for salvation.

*What Happens After Death?*
For believers, *death is just a doorway to God’s presence.* Some will never experience death but will be changed at Christ’s return (1 Corinthians 15:51-52). The Bible describes believers being *carried by angels into eternity* (Luke 16:22). *Psalm 90:10* says our years are short, but then we “fly away.”

Romans 8:35-39 assures us that *nothing—not even death—can separate us from God’s love.* Jesus told the Pharisees that *God is the God of the living* (Matthew 22:32), and Paul declared that *to depart and be with Christ is far better* (Philippians 1:23).

*Where Will You Spend Eternity?*
*Do you know where you will go when you die?* Death is not the end—it is the beginning. *Christ has defeated the grave!* 1 Corinthians 15:55 triumphantly declares, *"O death, where is your sting? O grave, where is your victory?"* Jesus has won, but *do you believe it?*

If you haven’t trusted Christ, *He is knocking at your heart.* Don’t wait—call on Him today, and you will never have to fear death again. *May God bless you.*
