Why Die?

 

Philippians 1:21 For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. 22 If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! 23 I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far;

This is not about suicide, this is about a real image of the Living God. To live is to know the world and all of its good and bad, but to die is to enter into what we do not fully know, but what we have been led to understand about our Father and God. If He is about punishment and pain, we would not want to be there, but if He is about the fulfillment of creation, the presence of what we were fully meant to be, then in His presence is a desire who could resist! Have we walked with our Father enough to envision the glory of His presence? Paul suffered greatly to open the door to the Father for others. Is that door open in our lives and unto those around us? Enough to die for?
