Whose Is the Only Voice After the Grave?

Whose, that which belongs to whom, is His voice.  All those who have gone before are still in the grave.  Their Christian souls mingle with the Holy Spirit and are still present inside the Church.  The Church is the body of Christ.  When you are Baptized, you are buried into the body of Christ and rise again in His Spirit.  All the members are in the Spirit, but there is only one voice that is still living now, the Living Word, and that is Jesus Christ.  I may speak now as I am still alive, but when I die, my voice will no longer be heard as living, but His words that I repeat will always live.  You may still remember those who have already passed on and are in the grave: your parents, loved ones, relatives, friends, famous people, but their voices are no longer living, just remembrances and have ceased living, but His voice is still alive in the words of the New Testament and lives forever.

Even those long ago voices that were once recorded in movies, radio, and TV are now just dead voices and have no life in them, no light, no eternal presence.  The beloved memories you recall of those relatives and friends are now just dead voices, not sustainable into the everlasting.  Yet, His voice still lives on forever in the New Testament, full of light and truth.  Let His light shine through you and all that you do and say.  Keep the words of Jesus Christ forever in your hearts and minds. 

 Matthew 5:14 - 5:16

14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Mark 14:22 - 14:24

22 And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.

23 And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it.

24 And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.

1 Thessalonians 2:13

“For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.”

John 11:25 - 11:26

25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

John 12:45 - 12:50

45 And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.

46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.

47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.

50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.
