RACE OF LIFE AND DEATH II Corinthians 5

RACE OF LIFE AND DEATH II. Corinthians 5: 15 “And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again”.

Salmon submits itself to a true suicide to avoid that its species is extinguished. It is able to exceed the limits of the fatigue to return to the same river where it was born and was created with the unique objective of spawning.

There are 5 species Of salmon in the Pacific Ocean. The “sockeye” is red with black spots. The “coho” is known as silver. The “chinook” is the biggest of them, it reaches a meter and a half reach 50 pounds.

Salmon is born in the calm waters of freshwater rivers. They live there for a year after they swam river below until it is seven years of age. When it reaches maturity the mysterious extinct pushes it out of the sea in the direction of the same river where it was born.

Then between the months of September to November it starts a trip without return. They swim 47 km per day. It travels up to 2. 400 km facing brave waters and jumping over on the most varied obstacles: stones, logs and waterfalls.

From the moment it leaves out of the sea and enters the fresh water the salmon does not eat. Its obsession anymore is to arrive. This test of endurance only ends when finally it comes to its cradle. Exhausted with the fins to the slender thin and starving he fulfills his mission.

The mommy salmon digs a small pit and spawn, then the daddy salmon fertilizes the eggs. Last the mommy covers with a small layer of gravel.

70 days later the puppies are born. After this the task is completed. So the salmon left itself river below to meet the death. It does not see the again the West Coast sea. This destination is the same for both the salmon that can get to river and the one that does not reach the final goal.

JESUS also came to meet the death. HE did it because there was no other way to save us. Satan tried to stop HIM putting in the way of JESUS all kinds of obstacles.

Even Satan offered to JESUS the treasures of the World and to use his own disciples to make him give up but the Love of JESUS for us was more than the fear of death.

HE died on the cross But the uncontrollable Life that was in HIM exploded in a Resurrection of Glory and Light. HIS Death and Resurrection are our guarantee of Eternal Life.
