1) Death is reality

2) redemption of soul is precious

3) man is like the beasts that perish.

4) confidence of a beliver

5) warning for the God's people

1)Death is reality (V8) All will die one day

Heb 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

Eclesiastes 8:8 There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it.

But Jesus was victorius over death

2Timo1:10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:

Jesus' s authority over death

a) resurrection of child of Jairus

Matthew 9:18-25

Luke 8:41

Mark 5:41

b) resurrection of Lazarus

John 11:43

Jesus have authority over death. So he will make your dead promises alive. The things you prayed and didn't get any answer. So you left it.

2)The redemption of soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:V8

But Jesus redeemed us

1Pet1:18Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;

John 3:16

5) warning for the God's people V17

17For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him

God is asking us to think for heavenly things

Colo 3:1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God

2Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth
