Hebrews 9:27
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
This verse sets the stage for the following verse, which explains the significance of Jesus Christ's sacrifice. It states that death is an inevitable outcome for all humans, and after death comes judgment.
Here are some interpretations of this verse:
- The universality of death: Everyone, regardless of their background or actions, will face death once in their lifetime.
- The certainty of judgment: After death, everyone will be judged for their actions in life.
- The contrast with Jesus' sacrifice: Jesus, however, did not die as a punishment for his own sins, but to take on the sins of humanity and offer them a pathway to salvation. This sacrifice, unlike the repeated animal sacrifices of the Old Testament, was a single, complete act.
Beneath the sun's unflinching gaze, a single breath we claim,
A tapestry of fleeting days, etched in a mortal frame.
Like leaves that dance in autumn's sigh, and fall to silent ground,
We tread the path where shadows lie, where destinies are bound.
Once whispers brush the veil of night, a final curtain drawn,
The symphony of stars alight, a silence takes its dawn.
The book of deeds, with ink unseen, unfurls before the eye,
And in that reckoning serene, a truth can never lie.
But fear not, mortal, etched in clay, though judgement's scales may weigh,
For grace unseen may pave the way, where dawn breaks silver gray.
A hand unseen, a whispered word, a light in endless night,
Redemption's song, on wings of love, ascends to boundless light.
So live with purpose, clear and true, each breath a precious gem,
In gentle deeds and hearts renewed, we build our diadem.
For though the dust may claim its due, and judgement's hour toll,
Love's echo, clear and ever new, will rise to make us whole.
