The fact of death

Our society has mobilised to fight death, and still we will all die. Our reaction to death shows that, despite our boasts, we still fear dying. Hebrews 9:27 reminds us that we are appointed to die. So what is dying? Why do people die? Will everyone die? What happens when I die? And, can anyone avoid dying? Facing the fact of death, we must turn to him who alone has overcome death and who has delivered us from punishment: Jesus Christ.
