Death is a scary topic.  Over 41% of the people in the United States are afraid of dying.  About 20% are somewhat afraid of dying.  Death is not a popular subject, even in the church.  An old pole done by a Christian magazine stated that 25% of the people in the church are afraid of dying.

 

Why are people afraid of death?  Is it the fear of the unknown?  Is it the fear of missing out what is happening here on earth?  Why are people scared.  The unknown was the first answer.  What happens to me when I die?  Am I a worm feast and that is it? What about my conscious?   Many questions, which society does not answer.

 

Jesus did answer those questions.  He stated that there was a soul.  That soul is eternal.  That soul would go somewhere and he presented two options: heaven or hell.  However to live eternally He stated that one had to know Him.  “I am the resurrection and the life, Whoever believes in me, though he die, yest shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die.”  John11: 25 & 26

 

Simple response to a difficult problem.  The real issue is do you believe HIM?  Think about it.
