Have you ever noticed how in the Bible the door to life, is death? People can be on one level of life, then God comes to them and asks “Do you want to know my level of life? It’s a different kind of life - resurrected, divine, miracle working Life and the way into it is death! Noah came out of the ark with a new life; life on a new level. Lazarus came our of the grave with a totally changed future and impact. Abraham had a body as good as dead and God bought it to life, giving him a son and a place in all of our hearts.  Moses seem to be as good as dead in the wilderness then God gave him a commission and a life so powerful he could lead the millions out. God is saying that your level of life, is not sufficient to do what I have called you to do and be.  You have to have a new type of life. Life from me and the way into it is through death. We forget that even our physical death is not the end. What comes after death is life! When a disciple takes up his cross and embraces death to himself, they are given a new type of life called Spirit life.  Life in Christ Jesus. It is a supernatural life that helps us love an unlovable husband, be patient toward aggressive workmates or respond kindly to inconsiderate drivers in our lane.

Friend,  it is a life that will take you out of your comfort zone to do things you would not normally do, for people that you would not normally do it for.
