Death is to be Understood

Death is to be understood by the Christian as a time in which both the person who is dying and those who love him, can think deeply about what death will mean for the one who is going to God, and what it means for those who are left, to continue to live upon the earth. These verses teach us that death is a time of gathering, a time of mourning, and a time of sympathizing. Let's see if we can learn something from this subject this morning.
