Hello 

 

 

In the Middle Ages the sea route to India seemed an impossibility. it was often discussed in the great economic and political centers of Europe. They used to wonder whether there would be a route around the bottom tip of Africa to that rich land of the spices. Many had tried and all had failed. The tip of Africa had become known as the Cape of Storms.

 

Then an explorer called Vasco da Gama decided he was going to try again. He succeeded. Ever since he returned to Lisbon it could never be doubted again that it could be done. He proved that to use that treacherous way wasn't inevitably disastrous. The Cape of Storms eventually became known as the Cape of Good Hope.

 

O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.          

 

1 Corinthians 15:55-57

 

Jesus Christ conquered death on that early morning so long ago, at the resurrection. This can give us hope in this life; and can especially help us during times of grief and struggle. Jesus has made a way for each of us to taste eternity. What an amazing promise!

 

 

Have a great day and God bless!
