No even breaking through the threshold of the afterlife removes me from the power if Christ and His cross. What then can anything do in this world to break my life saving cord that is anchored to the cross? Death is the greatest unknown. No living man can see what the dead glimpse after their go dark.
But our heavenly father sent His son ahead of us. To explore the pit. To enter the darkness while still being a creature of light. He wandered in the labyrinth of Gehenna, and returned proclaiming that he had mastered the puzzle. Answered the hardest question. Simplified our choices or what happens when we die. Endless meditations, studies, and imaginings are no longer needed. The Christ walked back across the threshold of death, confidently laughed it off. "Hah, oh that place" "There is no more need to worry about it my child" "The choice is yours" I give the knowledge that conquers death freely."
Romans 14:7-9 ESV
For none of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself. For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's. For to this end Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.
