Death is not a topic that is easy to talk about.
It seems so final. Not only that, but it is a topic that can bring up a wide
range of emotions. Let’s face it, death stings, not only for the one who dies but
also for those who are left behind.
I know people who are not afraid to die, but I have yet to meet a healthy person who wants to die. I have known people who have turned bitter knowing their death is imminent, and I have known people who have been very gracious and pleasant in their final days.

Death is difficult part of life. Will it be
painful? Will there really be an afterlife? And if so, what will it be like? What
if there is an afterlife and I don’t end up in heaven?
God made promises to Jacob, and God kept those
promises. God also made promises to us, and he will keep those promises as
well.
Death signifies the end of life on earth, but it
is also a beginning.
God promised his children eternal life, and he sent
his son Jesus not only as a sacrifice for our sin, but also to assume our sins,
so that in God’s eyes we are perfect. Yes, Jesus was a scapegoat for us!
Death is the beginning of life with Jesus in
heaven. It is the beginning of life in a land of perfection, a land that we
really cannot fully comprehend here on earth.
Death is painful. Yet, through Jesus Christ death
leads us to the promised land.
God kept his promise with Jacob, and he is keeping
his promises with us!
