This Old House

2 Corinthians 4:16 - 5:9
In Corinthians chapter 5 and when you've found it look up here. Again, Second Corinthians chapter 5. Did you know that in the world today more than one hundred thousand people will die? As a matter of fact, every time your watch ticks, a soul will die--a ticking of that watch is for you and for me. Sooner or later, unless the Lord intervenes by his second coming, we shall die. I want to be morbid with you today--I want to tell you that while death is a fact to be faced, it is not a fact to be feared. As a matter of fact, I'm going to show you that you're not ready to live until you're no longer afraid to die. Hebrews chapter 2 and verse 15 speaks of the Lord Jesus, don't turn to that right now, we have another text, but it says that Jesus has come to deliver us who, for all of our lifetime, have been in bondage because of fear of death. Fear of death keeps us in bondage, but it is not until a man is no longer afraid to die that he's ready to live. When for the first time strangely he is no longer afraid to die, then and then only is he ready to live.
Now, I had the experience one time of moving into a brand new house; only once in my life have I ever done that. Down in Florida we built a new house to live in and we looked over and supervised the building of that house and then we moved into a brand new house. It was the house that we moved out of when we came up here. That was a thrill and that was exciting, but you've got something far more exciting ahead. Every one of us, every one of us is going to move into a custom designed house. Listen to God's word right here. The Bible says, ''For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle,'' the word tabernacle means tent or dwelling place, ''were dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our ho ...
