Comfort for Life and Death…. We Belong to God
Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with your bodies. (1 Corinthians 6:19-20)
We live in a world obsessed with comfort. The number of air conditioning units in the world is expected to triple by year 2050. Tens of billions of dollars are spent on pain medication every year, and the market is forecast to increase 50 percent by year 2032.
Several other products offer comforts we “can’t live without”.
And yet everyday people are anxious and stressed.
We all need comfort, and we all have important needs, especially for our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health.
But too often we look for comfort in the wrong places.
Being part of a community and having a sense of belonging is part of the answer to finding comfort for daily living, but the best way to find comfort is in a right relationship with God, who provides the true and lasting comfort of life and death forever.
The apostle Paul reminds us that we do not belong to ourselves but have been bought at a price—through the blood of Jesus, God’s Son—who came to offer us new life through the gift of his own life.
This world provides only limited, temporary comforts. But belonging to God through Jesus offers true and lasting comfort for both body and soul, during life and in the face of death.
God, thank you that we are not our own but belong to you both “in life and in death”. Amen.
