Death Of The Body Is Natural
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
Romans 8:35
With rapid changes in technology, communication, and lifestyles, the world created its breathless race into the future, and things such as funerals have changed (perhaps due in part to increasing secularism). Over a period of time, people began to exclude children from deathbed scenes or even from viewing the dead. Death became a private affair; eventually even the family was excluded as the hospitalization of the terminally ill became widespread. With this came the rejection of the grieving process, and communities felt less involved in the death of its members. Death and funerals today, have become very sterilised
For believers in Jesus Christ, death is the doorway to eternity with Him and therefore gives hope for what lies ahead after we finish our earthly journey. The death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus distinguishes Christianity from all the religions of the world. “He who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me … has passed from death into life” (John 5:24). It’s been said that death is not a period, but a comma in the story of life. For the Christian, death can be faced with victory, because nothing can separate us from the love of God (Romans 8:39).
