Mark 9:2-10
At times I am overwhelmed by the deaths in my life. Plans falling flat, the demise of an event or a relationship, or the passing of someone close, all taste of death. As a result, grief, anxiety and even anger can converge to oppress my soul into the depression of a kind of a grave –that is often more comfortable than the deliberate act of rising up. But Christ Jesus showed us once and for all that death is not the final act of life. Indeed in any death there is potential for resurrection if I but turn to the Living God and allow Life to have its sway. When I experience death of any kind, am I willing to turn to God and let his mercy and truth raise me to stand again in life? Christ Jesus, teach me what it is to be raised from death. I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living. (Psalm 116) O Lord, I am your servant. You have loosed my bonds. I will offer to you a thanksgiving sacrifice and call on the name of the Lord.
