我们人最不想谈到的话题就是“死亡”，而最有可能带来死亡的（大约百分之九十五）就是“疾病”。疾病与死亡几乎是全人类的自然结果。全球卫生组织报道告诉我们，夺去人性命的三大疾病就是心脏病，癌症和呼吸道疾病。现今医学报道也告诉我们在每两个人当中，至少有一个在一生中当中会得着癌症。当人的寿命越延长，癌细胞会出现的可能性是越高的。即便现今有很多像高血压、糖尿病与高血糖的慢性疾病，人心里也清楚知道这些都带有致命性的因素。确实，疾病、身体的老化、体力的衰退等，都是指向死亡的写照。在这疫情中，我们都看见人是多么的害怕。当死亡的征兆出现，每个人都纷纷开始关注这病毒。其实，死亡对人来说比什么都真实。那是一个人在这世界里能遇到最真实的事情。可能不是每个人在人生中会遇到挫折、婚姻破裂、破产等，但每个人都会遇到死亡。死亡，是人绝不能逃避的现实。有些人常批评我们基督教真是不切实际，成天讲到死后的事，还不如好好的过今生。人虽然这么说，但是到最后总是不能摆脱那临近死亡的忧虑与无助。因此，基督的死而复活所战胜的最后一个仇敌就是死亡《林前15:26》，而整个基督信仰的宗旨一定是指向最终的复活。倘若没有这个的复活，我们的信仰根本是空谈。因为若我们的结束不是脱离地上一切罪所带来的痛苦、疾病与最终的死亡，今天我们何必要这么认真的生活呢？我们干脆吃吃喝喝，放纵情欲，活得像禽兽就罢了。因为明天要死了！《林前15:32》但感谢我们的主将那有关永生的启示赐给我们，使我们晓得虽然地上有苦难，但心中却能带有指望的活下去。那么，今天我们在基督里得着永生的人还需要另一个答案，就是我们要如何走到永生去。或许我们不怕死亡的临到，但我们难免都会有一点担忧自己是怎么走到那一刻。除非我们是经历飞机失事或是严重的意外事件而立即丧亡，大多数的人都会经过患病的过程，而这过程有长有短。在这过程中，我们的身体渐渐衰退，也被一些的疼痛、不适、不方便，或是担忧、未知数、医生各种消极的见解折磨。有些人在病患的过程中看见家人辛苦的照顾他，心里感觉自己拖累家人。有些则是带着很多牵挂，担心自己走了之后没有人照顾自己的亲人。有些害怕自己在病痛中会沦落到非常自怜的光景。这些种种肉身、精神与情感被折腾的过程都是一个病人要不断承受的。有些信徒也担心自己会不会在一些惨痛的病危过程中失去信心。因此，有些基督徒说：“我不怕死的那一刻，只怕我临近死亡的过程”。这些都是人在疾病当中会遭受的种种痛苦与焦虑。因此，圣经不但是给我们在基督里那永生的确据，也同时给我们怎么走到生命尾端的确据。特别，当我们在面对一些疾病临到的现实，或许那疾病还没严重到会使我们失去性命的地步，但却带给我们和周围的人很多不便。那时候，我们要怎么从主的话语得着领悟来面对这样的苦难呢？让我们今天从保罗身上的经历得着这方面的答案。

The last thing which people like to talk about is the topic of "death", and the most likely cause of death (about 95%) is "sickness".  The most natural outcome for all of mankind is sickness and death. The World Health Organization report tells us that the three major diseases that take away the lives of people are heart disease, cancer and respiratory diseases. Today's medical reports also tell us that at least one in two persons will get cancer in their lifetime. The longer a person's lifespan, the higher the probability that cancerous cells will appear. Even if there are many chronic diseases like high blood pressure, diabetes and high blood sugar today, people know that these are also fatal factors. Indeed, diseases, the aging of the body, the decline of physical strength, etc. are all signs pointing toward death. In this epidemic, we all see how fearful people are. When signs of death appear, everyone begins to pay attention to the virus. In fact, to man, death is realer than anything. It is the realest situation a person can ever encounter in this world. Maybe not everyone will encounter setbacks, broken marriages, bankruptcy, etc. in their lives, but everyone will encounter death. Death is a reality that people definitely cannot escape. Some people often criticize us saying that Christianity is not practical, always talking about life after death when it is better to live this present life well. Although people say this, they still cannot eliminate the worries and helplessness as they eventually approach death. Therefore, Christ's death and resurrection defeated the last enemy which is death <1 Co 15:26>, and the purpose of the entire Christian faith must be directed to the final resurrection. Without this resurrection, our faith is simply empty talk. Because if our end is not set free from the pain and suffering, sickness, and eventual death caused by all sins on earth, why do we need to live so seriously today? We might as well just eat and drink, indulge the flesh, and live like a beast, for tomorrow we die! <1 Co 15:32> But thanks be to our Lord for giving us the revelation of eternal life, so that we know that although there is suffering on earth, we can live with hope in our hearts. Well, today, we who have received eternal life in Christ need another answer, that is, how do we get to eternal life? Perhaps we may not fear the coming of death, but we will inevitably worry somewhat about how we will reach that moment. Unless we are killed in an airplane crash or a serious accident, most people will go through the process of getting sick, and this process can be long or short. In this process, our body will gradually decline, and we will also be tormented by some pains, discomforts, inconveniences, or worries, the unknowns, various negative opinions of the doctor. Some people see their family members taking care of them in the process of their illness, and feel that they have implicated their family members. On the other hand, some are very concerned, worrying that no one will take care of their loved ones after they leave. Some are afraid that in their pain, they will fall into a state of self-pity. These various physical, mental, and emotional torments are what a sick person has to undergo. Some believers also worry if they would lose their faith in the process of going through some painful illness. Therefore, some Christians say, "I am not afraid of the moment of death, but only afraid of the journey approaching death." These are all kinds of pain and anxiety that people will suffer in their sickness. Therefore, the Bible not only gives us the assurance of eternal life in Christ, but also the assurance of how we should walk to the end of our lives. In particular, when we are facing the reality of some sickness, perhaps the disease is not that serious to cause us to lose our lives, but it brings a lot of inconvenience to us and those around us. At that time, how should we face such suffering with the understanding of the Lord's word? Let us get the answer in this aspect from Paul’s experience today.
