b'Death feels so final and real. Death has been on my mind recently because I\\nhave a family member who is not in good health. Once someone passes away,\\nwe cannot get them back. But, death does not have to be the end.\\nBecause God sent Jesus to die for us, death doesn\\u2019t have to be final. It\\nwasn\\u2019t final for Jesus; He rose from the grave! And it doesn\\u2019t have to be\\nfinal for us and those we care about. While we lose our\\nchance to be with someone when they die, if that person has put their trust\\nin Jesus and we have too, we can see them again when Jesus returns and\\nraises us from the dead.\\nDeath can take someone from living here on earth, but, if they are a\\nChristian, they are still held in God\\u2019s love, and He promises to give them\\nnew life. Death is in all of our futures (unless Jesus comes back during\\nour lifetime), but we can be prepared for it. We can have a relationship\\nwith God through relying on Jesus for salvation, and we can look forward to\\nthe day He will raise us to eternal life. We can know that He holds us even\\nin death. And we can share this hope with the people around us.\\nDeath feels final, but it isn\\u2019t. When Jesus returns and raises us from the\\ndead, it will be the start of a new life in restored creation, a life that\\nwill last for eternity. \\u2022 Emily Acker\\n\\u2022 Do you ever feel afraid of dying? Jesus Himself experienced death\\u2014both\\nthe death of people He loved (like his friend Lazarus, see John 11:1-44)\\nand His own death on the cross. And Jesus overcame death, rising from the\\ngrave and securing our resurrection and eternal life with Him when He\\nreturns. How could these truths bring you comfort?\\n\\u2022 When you have questions about death, who are trusted Christians in your\\nlife you can talk to? \\nAnd I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God\\u2019s love.\\nNeither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for\\ntoday nor our worries about tomorrow\\u2014not even the powers of hell can\\nseparate us from God\\u2019s love.
