Death and resurrection: His and yours
Who among us hasn’t experienced the trauma associated with the death of a loved one? Death means separation, loss and grief. There is simply nothing good about it.
And yet to some, death, though painful, can be far less agonizing. In fact, the apostle Paul writes that for him, to live is Christ, and to die is gain(Philippians 1:21).
But how can there be gain in dying? Doesn’t death seem fundamentally wrong in every way? When faced with death, don’t our most basic instincts fight or flee take over? Which of us isn’t determined to fight death to the bitter end?
And yet death lies at the very heart of the Christian faith in more ways than one!
