“I” to “–”
“I” is an extremely short word to describe existence. “I” is the smallest subject
pronoun and does not boast a great size on the written page. However, it would
seem that “I” wants more than “them,” “they,” or “those. “I” seems to never be ful-
filled, though it is so small. “I” alone is sad and lost, yet “I” can be all one thinks
about.
There must be a balance because without “I,” no one can STR“I”VE, G“I”VE, or
THR“I”VE. “I” is here for a reason, a great purpose. “I” can str“I”ve To be a g“I”ft
for others in their time of need, which is more fulfilling than anything “I” could find
within itself. You see, “I” is an extremely short word to describe L“I”FE. One day
“I” will be gone. There is no “I” in death. “I” will no longer stand vertically, but will
lay horizontally (like this “–”) in the casket. “I” has changed to a “–.” I will be
placed on the tombstone and say what “I” did in L“I”FE (e.g. 1985 “–” 2019?)
John 1:14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His
glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
The Word took on the smallest subject pronoun: “I.” He lived on this earth to
d“I”e. He took our “I” and our “–” and made a , taking it on Himself.
“And ‘I’, if ‘I’ am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples (all ‘I’s) to Myself.”
This He said, signifying by what death He would die” (Jn 12:32,33).
If you are reading this, your “I” is still here (remember it could be gone in a blink
of an “I”). What are you going to do with it? Will you help others by putting God
first? Take care of more than just “I” to “–”
“Then He said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny him-
self (“I” to “–”), and take up his daily, and follow Me (Luke 9:23).

The Sting of Death and the Power of Sin
Death has always been a great terror to mankind and
when Job’s friend Bildad spoke of it he said, “He is up-
rooted from the shelter of his tent, And they parade
him before the king of terrors” (Job 18:14). Thus
death is referred to as “the king of terrors.” To Bildad
there was nothing so terrifying as death! In writing to the
church at Corinth Paul declared that “The sting of death
is sin, and the strength of sin is the law” (I Cor.
15:56). Death is the result of sin. It is because of the sin
of one man (Adam) that brought death into the world
(Rom. 5:12).
The sting of death is sin! This is so because sin
produces not only physical death but also the second
death – eternal condemnation. Sin separates us from
God. Long ago Isaiah wrote, “Behold, the LORD'S
hand is not shortened, That it cannot save; Nor His
ear heavy, That it cannot hear. 2 But your iniquities
have separated you from your God; And your sins
have hidden His face from you, So that He will not
hear” (Isa. 59:1, 2). If that sin is not forgiven then that
separation that sin produces will be eternal. In the day of
judgment, Jesus will say to those who failed to obey Him,
“Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire
prepared for the devil and his angels” (Mt. 25:41b).
The power of death is the law. This is so be-
cause the law points out our sin and condemns us to
death, but the law could not enable us to overcome sin. It
is like a doctor who can diagnose cancer, but who is
powerless to remove the disease. So the law diagnosed
the sin, and condemned us for it, but the law could not
remove the sin. The Law of Moses required animal sacri-
fices but those sins were remembered every year at
which time more sacrifices would have to be made. The
writer of the letter to the Hebrews said, “For the law,
having a shadow of the good things to come, and not
the very image of the things, can never with these
same sacrifices, which they offer continually year by
year, make those who approach perfect. 2 For then
would they not have ceased to be offered? For the
worshipers, once purified, would have had no more
consciousness of sins. 3 But in those sacrifices
there is a reminder of sins every year. 4 For it is not
possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take
away sins” (Heb. 10:1-4). Thus the statement of Paul in
I Cor. 15:56 is terrifying to men. However, verse fifty-six
is not the end of Paul’s statement about death and sin.
Paul concludes his statement with the words, “but
thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through
our Lord Jesus Christ” (I Cor. 15:57). This is one of
the reasons we should be thankful that we are not under
the law (the Old Covenant), but grace. Under the new
law, God’s plan of redemption is completed. Jesus went
to the cross in our place and provided for us that which
neither the old law nor we could provide – the perfect
sacrifice that can and does take away our sins.
