Walking through the Cemetery (Genesis 5, select verses)

In Genesis 5, the refrain “and he died” repeatedly rings out like a funeral toll. We do well to figuratively walk past the graves of these deceased men, to ponder the consequences of sin, and to consider our own impending death. Are we ready for death?Music Credit: J. S.
