About a month ago while watching the news about Korea, I saw an article that was very interesting and memorable.

There is an institution that lets you experience what death is like!

What’s more is, every year about 3,000 people visit that place each year to experience what the end of life is like.

After registering into the place, the first thing the volunteers do is take a portrait picture for funeral. Once that person chooses their favorite picture, they place that in a frame. Then they write their Last Will & Testament. They are all healthy and well, but the expressions on the people who visit are serious and grave.

What is it that they are going to write? Most of them would be to thank their parents, past regrets for disobeying, or writing notes to their loved ones they love them. After the Last Will is written, the volunteers then all wear the death shroud. At this point, their faces become even more serious.

Next, the volunteer then lies in a coffin they made by themselves and the worker would close the lid. There is a bit of light to go through, but for a certain amount of time, the person has to lie there still. I wonder what they think about during this quite time. Many people say different things. Some close their eyes and think about how far they have gotten in their lives so far, some tear up thinking about their painful past, of their wife or their loved ones they have to leave behind. Some even think about what is happening now, to forgive of their enemies and to live a righteous life and promise it. But everyone has one common thought: ‘This is what it will be in the end.’

There is no one on earth that can pass death.

It is recorded in Hebrews 9:27 the following: “Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment,”

After the casket is open, there is time to share afterwards. Some wife said, “I nitpick at my husband too much and regret about it. I need to fix that.” Some young man said, “I must live a much more valuable life.” In anyway, many talked about living a meaningful life, forgiving and loving, and to mature better as a person in their lifestyle as well.

Apostle Paul said he “dies” daily. As he dies, there is love that sprouts from that and grows. Through a person’s death, there is a sharing and caring. Also though suppressing one’s self, God is visible moreover in that person.

Apostle Peter said, “As a result, they do not live the rest of their earthly lives for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God. For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do—living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry.” 1Peter 4:2~3

A bit later it says about praying in alertness, to love each other in passion firstly, to serve without fretting, and to be a great keeper of everything that is good. Also, in the next verse there is a word about living like the one who passes the Good News, and to volunteer for God’s work in his strength, God would be glorified through Jesus.

While I meditate his Word daily, acting upon the word like it is my Last Day. To not live for the greed of one’s self, but to follow God’s Will, to glorify him, pray, love, serve, and to pas the Good News because it is through him that I am able to power through. While experiencing he end daily, I experience and are in debt of daily revival.
