There Is No Such Thing
as Death (John 11:26)
“So, I always strive to do right by God and people.” Acts 24:16
KSB
The transition from abundant life here on earth to eternal
life and life everlasting. There is no such thing as death; there are only
higher and higher forms of life. Since there is no death, we don’t say people
die; instead, we say they transition. They have transitioned from abundant life
to eternal life. Jesus said, “I have come that you might have life and that
more abundantly.” People don’t pass away. You might say, “My loved one passed
away,” but they never indeed pass away because they remain in your mind. They
will never pass away because they are still in your heart. Their names are
still on your lips. We speak their names, and they are alive as long as you
think about them. As long as you feel and remember them, they are still alive.
As long as you speak their name and talk about them, they are still alive. We
often say, “Oh, I lost my loved one.” You didn’t lose them.
We know exactly where they are. To be absent from this
physical body is to be present with the Lord. They are not lost; they are in
the presence of God. They have taken on a glorified body and are in another
form of life. There is no such thing as death. Jesus said, “Whoever lives and
believes in me will never die.” For God so loved the world that He gave His
only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have
eternal, everlasting life. You cannot believe in Jesus and believe in death.
The Bible says that we go to sleep and wake up into a higher form of
consciousness. We lose this physical body, but we do not lose ourselves. We are
spiritual beings who have taken on a physical form. When we no longer need to
operate in this physical universe, we let go of these physical bodies and take
on a glorified body, like Jesus did. Jesus walked through walls, appeared
before His disciples, and showed Thomas the nails in His hands and the piercing
in His side.
There is no such thing as death, so you don’t have to be
afraid anymore. Jesus took the sting out of death: “O death, where is your
sting? O grave, where is your victory?” Your loved ones are still with you.
They are with you in spirit, like angels on the other side supporting,
encouraging, and helping you from a higher level of consciousness. Your
ancestors are your angels, helping you move forward in this physical existence.
Give yourself permission to miss them physically and know they are still
spiritually with you. Give yourself permission to weep and cry. That’s what
Jesus did with Lazarus. Even though He knew that Lazarus would rise again, even
though He knew He was the resurrection and the life, He still permitted Himself
to feel His emotions. Jesus can relate to our feelings when it comes to our
loved ones not being with us in physical form.
So, journal about it. Visit the grave if you need to. Put
flowers on the grave. Look at pictures and videos. Join grief support groups.
Get counseling if needed to receive the comfort you need. Jesus said, “Blessed
are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” He didn’t say, “Cursed are
those who mourn.” He said, “Blessed are those who mourn.” When you give
yourself permission to grieve and mourn, the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, will
comfort you and give you the energy and strength to grieve healthily so you can
move forward. When you feel those tears on their birthday or the anniversary of
their transition, permit yourself to feel those feelings.
