The Ravages of Sin


Visiting a hospice always bring one into confrontation with death; but more so, with the ravages of sin. The once strong able body has been reduced to skin and bones. The once cheery and lively demeanor has been reduced to tired eyes and silence.

The curse of sin is eating up everything. And the only comfort one can find is the afterlife. Jesus promised all those who believe in him will no longer suffer when they give up this feeble body. They will be with him in paradise and will have a new body-one that will never rot, grow old or crumple.

May all those who are taking care of the terminally ill and elderly sick find hope in Jesus; for he had conquered death, rose from the dead and will come again to bring all who are his into eternal bliss.
