Victory

“And he said, ‘Naked I came from my mother's womb, And naked I shall return there. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away. Blessed be the name of the Lord.’” Job 1:21

Alexander the Great was able to conquer the known world, yet he understood his conquest was temporal. Introspection led him to believe he couldn’t take anything with him when he died, so he left a mandate for the officers who buried him.

Alexander the Great insisted that his bare hand was to hang out of the casket as a statement that death doesn’t permit humanity to keep the possessions they work so hard to acquire. The Bible clearly confirms this reality as it states everyone enters this world empty handed, and leaves it the same way.

However, if you have Jesus in your heart, you gain heaven and win the victory over death. Rejoice and have a great day!
