Death. That’s a morbid subject,
isn’t it? It’s certainly a subject that is
usually discussed in a hush-hush tone.
And tor many just to mention the
possibility of it sends cold chills down
their spine. But whether we want to
talk about it or not, one thing is for
certain—we all are going to have to
face it.
One reason we hesitate to discuss
death in a proper fashion is the fact
that we fear death. Because it is un
known to us, because we have never
experienced it, because we do not
know what it is like, we are afraid of
it. Fear, you see, is so often caused
by ignorance. When we don’t have
some knowledge about something then
wo have a tendency to be afraid of it.
That’s why some of us are glad the
Carpenter came our way. He gave us
some knowledge on the subject.
Now I’m not knocking the way we
speak of death nor trying to belittle
our efforts to pay respect. What I’m
saying is that too often we fail to take
a realistic look at death. We treat it
as though it is a horrible thing, a mon
ster, a dreaded experience. I wonder
if the reason we treat it like that is
because this is the way death appears
to be to the most of us?
Maybe we have never stopped to
think that the same Creator Who gave
us this beautiful thing that we call life
is the same One Who also made death
a part of the Plan. How is it that we
can on one hand call one of His gift’s
a beautiful thing and in the next
breath say His other gift is awful?
Does His nature change like that?
We think not. We feel that He is in
deed the same “yesterday, today, for
ever.”
The problem is that we take His
gifts without taking Him. You see,
we use life, live it to it’s fullest, with
out ever stopping to think where it
comes from, Who is responsible for
it. Then one day, sometimes sudden
ly, we are face to face with the other
gift of His—often unprepared for it—
and we curse it. We have known, since
we w r ere old enough to understand, that
everyone must die. But we have put
off thinking about it, getting prepared
for it, and it catches us unable to cope
with it.
Followers of the Man of Galilee have
a healthy attitude toward death. For
they belong to the Creator. How was
it that little Jewish tent-maker said
it ? “Whether we live or die, then, we
belong to the Lord.” It was faith like
that that led him to say, “As for me,
the hour has come for me to be sacri
ficed; the time is here for me to leave
this life. I have done my best in the
race, I have run the full distance, I
have kept the faith. And now the
prize of victory is waiting for me . . .”
I would rather face it that way than
cursing it. But, then, one cannot face
it in that manner unless he is able to
say those very same words. I guess
that is the thing that scares us so.
