IN THE END, WE DIE Friday - October 22, 2010
“Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.” – Hebrews 9:27
In December 2004, Cambridge geneticist Aubrey de Grey wrote: "The first person to live to 1,000 might be 60 already." Dr. de Grey believes it will soon extend dramatically to 1,000. He explains why: “Ageing is a physical phenomenon happening to our bodies, so at some point in the future, as medicine becomes more and more powerful, we will inevitably be able to address ageing just as effectively as we address many diseases today.
I claim that we are close to that point because of the SENS (Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence) project to prevent and cure ageing.
It is not just an idea: it's a very detailed plan to repair all the types of molecular and cellular damage that happen to us over time.
Dr. de Grey admitted man will not live forever: “We will still die, of course - from crossing the road carelessly, being bitten by snakes, catching a new flu variant etcetera - but not in the drawn-out way in which most of us die at present.”
No matter how man tries to extend our lives, we will eventually die and appear before Jesus. Today in prayer, praise the Lord that after death we will see our Savior’s face and live with Him forever.
“He whose head is in heaven need not fear to put his foot in the grave.” – Matthew Henry
God’s Word: “For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.” – 1 Corinthians 15:22
