We in the USA and around the world are about to celebrate the birth of the Savior of the world as told in several narratives in the New Testament. Followers of the Christ were called "Christians" first at Antioch. Before that they were "people of The Way". And we who believe in Jesus, who is the Christ, live in the hope of our salvation - the plan of God the Father to redeem mankind - and for all who believe.
That being said, the presumed author, Solomon, of Ecclesiastes writes in chapter 9:3-5 - "3 It’s terribly unfair for the same thing to happen to each of us. We are mean and foolish while we live, and then we die. 4 As long as we are alive, we still have hope, just as a live dog is better off than a dead lion. 5 We know that we will die, but the dead don’t know a thing. Nothing good will happen to them—they are gone and forgotten."
Solomon laments that all people - the "good" and the "sinner" - will physically die. Even so, it is still better to be alive with hope than dead without it! Awesome! While each person draws the breath of life he or she has access to the hope of salvation - the real Breath of Life!
Go with God today - and throughout the rest of 2020! The New Year - 2021 - will be ever so much more rewarding while we walk with Jesus than if we do not!
Psalm 119:25 - "I am at the point of death. Let your teachings breathe new life into me."
1 Thessalonians 3:8 - "Your strong faith in the Lord is like a breath of new life."
