Well-Dying? No! Well-Living? Yes!

Well-Dying? No! Well-Living? Yes!

Do you know the meaning of Well-Dying? Well-Dying is a term that refers to the social trend of preparing to confront death in a calm and dignified manner, utilizing the method of educating and assisting the older generations with appropriate programs, palliative care, or hospices.

 The poet Horace said "Pale Death with impartial tread beats at the poor man's cottage door and at the palaces of kings." 

 Everyone dies. No rich man, no king of honor, no scholar of knowledge can escape death. Many people wants to live long and to live forever, but they haven't found a way. That's why people are starting to pay attention to new interests. They began to think about how to well-die.

 If there is a way to Well-Live forever, people will not choose Well-Dying. Surprisingly, there is a "Well-Living Forever" method in the Bible.

[ John 6:53-56 ] Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them.”

 The way to live forever is to eat Jesus' flesh and drink His blood. So, we must eat Jesus’ flesh and drink His blood to have eternal life. 

 How are we able to eat Jesus’flesh and drink His blood? That is possible through keeping the Passover of the new covenant.

[ Matthew 26:17–19 ] ...“Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?” He replied, "Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, ‘. . . I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.’" So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.

[ Matthew 26:26–28 ] While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.” Then he took the cup [wine], gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.”

 Therefore, through the Passover we can receive eternal life. 

 What does it mean to receive eternal life? We can live happily ever after in heaven through eternity.

[ Revelation 21:1, 4 ] Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. ... He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.

 All of people haven't found the way to live forever, but the Bible tell us how can we live forever. Let's choose Well-Living Forever by keeping the Passover instead of Well-Dying. Let us study more about the New Covenant Passover and keep it together~!
