life in death.




[i took this picture in new york when i was there in may/june]

this may seem like an ordinary picture of a grave yard. but there is something more that is deeper than anyone could see.

when you look at a tree you dont think its dead you know it is alive and growing. but when you look at a tombstone you dont think it is alive or growing, its dead, and sort of creepy.

the tree in the picture reminds me that since i am not enslaved to sin any more that means when i die on earth that is not the end of my life. its just the beginning. the tree is blocking the tombstone, meaning i can not die to this earth because Jesus has paved the way to have everlasting life. i know that i will not die and stay dead, instead i will die to stay alive.

would you rather die and stay dead, or would you rather die to live.

your choice.
