Whoever believes in me will live, even though he dies

> He had recently learned that cancer was working its way in his lungs. At one point he said to me and others, "I am a walking dead man." For some reason this morning I am hearing those words from my brother. Although he lived every day dealing with his illness he chose to focus on living. He placed his trust in the over arching plan and purpose of God and celebrated life each day. The truth of the matter is every one is a walking dead person in as much as sooner or later we are going to die. We have the invitation of Christ when he says, "I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die." (John 11: 25,26) My brother chose to trust God to glorify Himself in the course of his illness knowing that ultimately he would really be healed, eternally.
