Some
die young. Others live to a ripe old age. None of us can predict what
lies ahead of us. There are some things that are beyond our control. We
look at what is happening and we say, ‘I wish things could be
different’. Absalom had been killed. David wished he could have died
instead of him. It was not to be. Each of us must die our own death: ‘No
man can redeem the life of another or give to God a ransom for him -
the ransom for a life is costly, no payment is ever enough - that he
should live on for ever and not see decay’(Psalm 49:7-9). There is,
however, a ‘Man’ who has died for us - Jesus Christ, ‘our Lord and our
God’. He ‘gave Himself as a ransom for all’. ‘Christ died for sins, once
for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God’(John
20 28; 1 Timothy 2:5-6; 1 Peter 3:18).
