The Living Among the Dead
IllustrationAnalogy★★★★YOU GO to any cemetery and among the dead you will discover the living—people who work there who take care of the grounds. These are living people operating among the dead. They are facilitating death even though they are very much alive. Unfortunately, today, many Christians who are alive are living in spiritual cemeteries. They are living among the dead. Of all the things the Bible promises, very few of them are very real to these people because they are finding it difficult to get out of the graveyard of their circumstances.
The point
Many Christians, though spiritually alive, live in spiritual cemeteries surrounded by spiritual death and struggle to claim God's promises.
