People fear death naturally. It’s part of the human response to guilt, fear of things inevitable but to some degree unknown.

I used to fear both what I did and didn’t know of death. I’ll be blunt. Don’t call this a shameless plug – but it was Jesus that freed me from this fear. I have a real and solid relationship with Him now, and part and parcel of that involved losing any fear of death. Think whatever you want, if your only explanation for me is delusion then know this – I used to think as you do.

But for anybody who does ever trust in Him, you’ll reach a day where these words will ring true:
“I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise”
– Jesus, speaking to a murderer dying by His side, asking to be remembered.
