The Dead
“The Walking Dead,” a
television horror drama series based on a comic book series, is about flesh-eating
zombies. “Dead Man Walking” is a movie
about a murderer on death row. It strikes me that both of these titles are a
startling and an apt description of those who have rejected, or not accepted Jesus. When the Sadducees questioned Jesus about the resurrection and He said, “But
about the resurrection of the dead—have you not read what God said to
you, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God
of Jacob’? He is not the God of the dead but of the living.”(Matt 22:31-31
NIV).

Gail;
-----You are so right. We think about death as the body ceasing to function, when it is actually the spirit not functioning. When we turn to Christ for life, the Holy Spirit comes into us and dwells with our spirit. Separation from the Lord is real death. Most choose to exist apart from the Lord. So, they are moving about while dead. Sounds like zombies.
Love you all,
