Should death be scary?
During the week, we'll be dealing with some questions regarding eternity. Check out the devotional for today, then come back and then examine this question:Should death be scary?
I Corinthians 15:51-57 says that victory has been won over death by Jesus Christ. For the believer, death has no power over them, because Jesus has ensured that they will have life with Him for eternity.
With that in mind, when Paul was facing death, he said, "to live is Christ and to die is gain." He knew he'd be better off dead, for he would be in God's presence immediately.
This does not mean that the process of death may not be scary. Not knowing how you may die, or even just fearing what "the transition" may feel like, is understandable.
But we no longer have to fear what would happen to us when we die. Death has lost its sting, it no longer has power over us.
