How suddenly can death come to a person?
Death can come suddenly, in a split second, to anyone—young, old, or in between. Lives full of vigor and vitality can be gone instantly, as happens on highways every day. No one knows who will be next, so the body prone to die can cease functioning without warning.
Les explains that whether a person is young, old, or in between, this body is suddenly going to be gone. He points to recent events where lives full of vigor, vitality, and everything were suddenly gone in a split second, and notes it happens on highways every day. We never know who will be next. Yet for the believer, this body prone to die will never die; instead, we will be clothed upon with that which is immortal.
