Sarah died

“And Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years old: these were the years of the life of Sarah. And Sarah died in Kirjatharba; the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan: and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.”

Sarah died. Even though Sarah was a great woman of faith she came to the end of her life and had to move on. In many ways, death is a sign of God’s grace for if a sinner couldn’t die they would have to live in desperate agony without any hope of respite. Sarah trust God for many year and eventually she gave birth to a son when it was impossible, except through God’s direct intervention. Death is one inescapable fact of life. However, we can approach death in two possible ways, like Sarah we can trust God and face death in faith (see Hebrews 11: 11-13) or we can refuse God’s grace and faith death in our own strength. Some people ridicule others who believe in God but there is an important question that we have to face. If we believe in God and are wrong then what is the worst we can expect? We may get some ridicule from some people but we don’t have to spend a great deal of time with those people anyway. We can learn contentment (see Phil 4: 11), by God’s grace, and the contented person is the richest person in the world. So have we lost anything in the long term. However if the person who doesn’t believe in the Lord Jesus Christ is wrong then they have to burn in the eternal torments of hell, knowing all the time that they had a chance to escape from the wrath to come but didn’t take it (Matt 3: 7). There is a saying today, “No Regrets!” However, there will be no greater regret than that one.
