The Fear of Death

It is a simple fact that each and every one of us will face death. It is a natural event that is set in motion by our very birth.

But if death is such a natural thing, the normal conclusion to our lives, why do we approach it with so much apprehension and fear? Is it simply because death, and what may come after, is such an unknown? Or does the issue go much deeper?

Interestingly enough the book of light, the book of life: God's Word, has quite a bit to say about the darkness of death. In fact, the Bible itself is in the form of an urgent communique from outside the very fabric of space and time. From One who would never die, but that chose to face and experience death, so that it could be vanquished for all time.

This eternal conquerer of death holds out to you a gift, that if accepted in the manner it is offered, results in eternal life and complete victory over the fear and the fact of death. For in accepting this gift, this conquerer credits to us His victory. This One who is alive forevermore, bestows upon us who are dying His eternal life. And this One who is light will enter into us, and shine forth from us, and drive all of the darkness away.

Interested? Then listen along as we consider the fear of death.
