Graveyard Dead
Dead is dead.
Graveyard dead emphasizes that fact. Someone or something died with no hope of revival and must be buried. The phrase can be used for the death of:
- An idea
- A business proposal
- Animals
- People
The redundant description clearly means:
- No effort will help.
- No hope exists.
- We must say good-bye.
But is that all?
If we have no hope, why have the word?
- One idea or proposal may not work, but we can always try another.
- The loss of an animal doesn’t remove the good it gave.
- Jesus promised this short life is not the end.
Claim the message of Easter. Live it every day. Hope endures!
“If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you” (Romans 8:11 NIV).
