Derek Post-
To be quite candid, the thought of dying is a scary thing,
and many of us feel quite uneasy talking about it (Turner,
2011). Despite that reluctance, death is an inevitable result of
being born. How death is thought of differs from religion to
religion, with some religions, such as Buddhism, believing
that death leads to reincarnation. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14
tells us what we can expect as Christians:
Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed
about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like
the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that
Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will
bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.
