Death reigned since adam. From the first sin, death plagues mankind. Sin may be given a softer face from day to day, but not so in death. Looking into the eyes of the kind, the mean, the strong, and the weak alike all suffer from the sin. There has not been a man that has escaped it.
Amazing to consider that one man should condemn his whole family, how Adam our father, should fall, and the weight be poured out generation to generation; what disease is there that rivals the punishment of the lord.
Still, grace was given as a free gift from christ so that everywhere that Sin reigned, grace abounded much more. Death is the punishment awaiting us at the end of a very long road, but grace abounds not only in the end, but in the very pores and fabric in our life. Now only is it our flight to heaven in the end, it is the rescue from the woes and wails of the world. it is our divine purpose and surpassing joy in the present age.
