When I was a schoolboy, I remember being stung by a bee one day in the garden. It was very painful, and when I showed my swollen hand to my mother, she found the sting of the bee in the flesh. I remembered how she comforted me by saying,
“It will never hurt you again, Bertie, for it has lost its sting.” We read in the Word of God,
“The sting of death is sin” (1 Cor 15:5656The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. (1 Corinthians 15:56)), and when that sting is removed, death need be no dread then.
All who believe on Jesus as their Saviour, have had their sins removed, put away, and forgiven, to them death has lost its terror and its sting.
They belong to the Lord Jesus, and can never come into judgment.
“He that heareth My Word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment; but is passed from death unto life.” John 5:2424Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. (John 5:24).
“For me, sin has no sentence,
For me, death has no sting,
Because the Lord, who loves me,
Shall shield me with His wing.”
How blessed it is to be able to say so, and to know that it is true! The Lord Jesus knew what it was to bear sin and suffer its judgment on the cross, but to all His believing people, all who trust Him as their Saviour, the judgment is past, and nothing but life and glory with the Lord Jesus, for them forever.
Who would not be among this blessed people?
“The wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:2323For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23).
