Last week we received news that three more anticipated events were being cancelled. It is the season of death. Death of people, yes, but also death of dreams, of plans, even of hope.
The Sentence of Death
The apostle Paul knew this dark feeling well. He writes in his letter to the church in Corinth:
“We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired of life itself. Indeed, we felt we had received the sentence of death.”
2 Corinthians 1:8-9
Perhaps you are feeling the “sentence of death” on your life these days. Perhaps like me you see no end in sight and are fighting the urge to despair.
