The Death of Death

Published: April 21, 2019, 9:19 p.m.

b"Anyone who has lost loved ones knows the myriad of emotions that follow. There is shock over loss. Intense sorrows and grieving. There is also the buckling down to get tasks done such as funeral arrangements, receiving guests, taking condolence texts and phone calls. But then there is laughter over fond memories. There can be a strange lightness. There might even be guilt of decreased burdens, especially after caring for a long-term ill person.There is no template in how we should respond to death because death is horrific. It is always tragic. It is strangely abnormal, no matter how much our world tries to normalize it. And this is why this day is such a day of hope and celebration, unlike any other day. It is the day where Death died and we celebrate death's demise. This is Paul\\u2019s essential message for us today in 1 Cor 15:54-57. The death of death.\\nText: 1 Corinthians 15:54-57Speaker: Sam ShinDate: 4/21/19 (Easter Sunday)"
