20:14) Then death and the grave were thrown into the lake of fire. This lake of fire is the second death.

     Good Friday to you – although the real Good Friday is still a few weeks away. On this Friday addition of the Daily Scripture Blog, I want to share with you the current items needed for our Food-4-Hope pantry. Your donations of cereal, peanut butter/jelly, granola bars, fruit snacks, pasta/pasta sauce will help re-fill our shelves. Every week your donations serve schools in the Fort Zumwalt district, Francis Howell district, Wright City middle and high schools. Donations can be dropped off at the church or shipped directly from your favorite online store. Thanks for helping through your continued generosity.

     In our pick verse today, John continues to paint the picture of God’s judgment on humanity. Death and Hades in the book of Revelation are always personified as evil twins that swallow up all humanity, even believers in Jesus. In this time of final judgement when they have been relieved of all the corpses they were holding, they will themselves finally be deposited into the lake of fire. In 1 Corinthians 15:26, the apostle Paul had also prophesied of this moment when he states, “the last enemy to be destroyed is death”. The second death into the lake of fire is reserved for those who have continually rejected the message of Jesus.

Blessings
