Overview
Our society has a fear of death. Oh sure, we also have a love of deadly violence in our films and novels, but we like adventures in which the heroes jump up and live to fight another day.
In real life, many of us are highly uncomfortable with any discussion of our mortality. Even mentioning it is considered morbid. We are much more likely to send a card or flowers than actually sit with the dying. And signs of our own mortality are put off with wrinkle creams, face lifts, and hair dyes. But for Christians, death should hold no fear. Christians live in the confidence of resurrection—both Christ's and our own.
