On January 21, 1924, Vladimir Lenin, aka Nikolai Lenin, né Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic since 1917 and Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars of the Soviet Union since 1923, died in Gorki, Moscow Governate, at the age of 53, after a series of strokes. Mr. Lenin put the Communist philosophy of Karl Marx into action as the leader of the Bolshevik Revolution that seized power in November 1917, and plunged Russia and much of the world into decades of misery.
Mr. Lenin produced death and darkness, and his body remains in his tomb in Moscow. The Lord Jesus Christ, on the other hand, brings life and light (John 1:4-9, 8:12), and resurrected and left His tomb (Matthew 28, Mark 16, Luke 24, John 20), exactly as He predicted, and right on schedule (John 2:19-22). While many people have put their faith in the dead Mr. Lenin, I put my faith in the living Lord Jesus Christ, from whom we have eternal life (John 10:28).
Daily Luther Sermon Quote - Trinity 4-2 - "For Daniel the prophet says,
Daniel 12:3, that the teachers shall shine as the brightness of the
firmament after the resurrection of the dead, and they that turn many to
righteousness as the stars forever and ever. And St. Paul in Corinthians
15:41 says: “For one star differeth from another star in glory. So also is
the resurrection of the dead.”
