Death Doesn't End Your Life (8 of 9)

Mark 12:18-27
Turn to Mark 12. Today, we're looking at Jesus' response when He's ridiculed about His stance on life after death. The title of the message is Death Doesn't End Your Life.
Have you ever had one of those dreams that seemed so real that it just stuck in your mind and heart for a long time? I have just three. When I was 12, I dreamed I could fly like Peter Pan. And it was so awesome and so real, I still remember how exhilarated and free I felt. When I was 14, I dreamed my dad died. I woke up weeping. I was crying so hard in my sleep that my chest hurt. I was very nice to my father for a least a week after that. Then about 10 years ago, I dreamed I died. I'm not kidding. I did. And man, I went out with a bang. For some strange reason, in my dream, I was driving along a mountain edge a few thousand feet up in the air. I don't know if I was being adventurous or ignorant (those two things usually go together don't they), but I got way too close to the edge of the mountain and all of a sudden, our really powerful, gold colored minivan was air born. I was alone in the van. I vividly remember as the van and I were descending rapidly, I kept repeating to myself, ''I'm about to die, I'm about to die, I'm about to die.''
As I was repeating that phrase over and over, my thoughts mainly centered around one thing: this is going to hurt really bad!! I wish I could tell you I was thinking about my beautiful wife, or my precious children, or my loving church family. Nope! I was strictly thinking about myself and how painful this was going to be. But when I hit the ground, and this massive crash took place, it didn't hurt at all. Nor did everything go blank. The moment that van hit, I was still conscious, but I knew instantly I was dead. There was no doubt about it. No fear about it. No anguish about it. Just the fact of it. I was dead. Life as I knew it was over.
