[b]IMAGINE that your running away from a vicious enemy.That is much stronger and faster than your.You know that he is merciless because you have seen him kill most of your friends.No matter how much and hard you try to outrun him,he keeps getting closer.There seems to be no hope.Suddenly,though,a rescuer appears at your side.He is far more powerful than your enemy, and he promises to help you. How relieved that makes you feel! 2.In a sence, you are being pursed by such and enemy.All are us. As i have mentioned in the preceding chapter,the Bible calls death an enemy. None off us can outrun it or fight it off. Most of us have seen this enemy claim the lives of people dear to us. But God is far more powerful than Death. He is the loving Rescuer who has already shown that he can defeat this enemy. And he promise to destroy this enemy (death) once and for all.The Bible teaches;As the last enemy,death to be brought nothing(1 Corinthians 15:26)That is good news 3Let us take a brief look at the enemy death when it strikes.Doing this will help us appreciate something that will make us happy.You see,God promises that the dead will live again.(Isaiah 26:19)They will be brought back to life.That is the hope of the resurrection.[/b]
