Death: When Life Meets Its End
EXPERIENCE & ENCOUNTER
These questions are an invitation to experience your life with God. Use them on your own or in community as you seek to follow Jesus.
- During Advent we prepare for the second coming of Christ by preparing to celebrate the first coming of Christ. In a few weeks, we will celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, God made flesh. God the Son took on flesh and was born of a virgin and was named Jesus. Jesus also died. Each of us was born and each of us will die. What difference does it make to you that Jesus went through both of these experiences? How can you face death in confidence and faith knowing Jesus himself has died?
- What scares you about death? Maybe it is the loss of control, the care of loved ones left behind, the uncertainty of the experience. How does trust in God speak to our fears in death?
- Paul describes death as an enemy (1 Corinthians 15:26). But just as in real life, there are right and wrong ways to fight our enemies. We might fight death in a faithful way by being good stewards of our bodies. We might fight death in unhealthy ways by obsessing with youth and denying age. How have you seen people “fight death” in God-honoring ways? How have you seen people “fight death” in unhealthy ways?
