Death may claim to separate people mercilessly from each other, but never does it separate anyone from God. We who are left on this side of the curtain of mortal belief when someone dearly loved has passed on to a new experience can take comfort in this knowledge. Paul said, "I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."Rom. 8:38, 39;
Paul learned this fact from the followers of the master Christian, Jesus, who taught and proved that life is indestructible. Anyone who understands the significance of those instances when Jesus raised the dead and when he came forth from the tomb himself finds his fear of death lessened. In each instance, Jesus showed that life had not been extinguished, that the individual had never been cut off from the source of life, from God.
To exist is to express the one divine Life, and whatever actually lives is evidence of that Life; it cannot die, else Life itself— without expression—would become extinct. Hence the importance of understanding one's existence and of treasuring the opportunity of proving what man is as Life's expression.
