Who Among Us Hast Not Feared Death At One Time Or ...
Contributed by R. David Reynolds on Mar 23, 2008 (message contributor)
Who among us hast not feared death at one time or another? The chorus of a Bluegrass Gospel Song recorded by such artists as Loretta Lynn and Decatur, Illinois’, Alison Krauss sums it up so well:
Everybody wants to go to Heaven, but nobody wants to die.
Lord I wanna go to Heaven, but I don’t wanna die.
Well, I long for the day when I’ll have new birth,
But I like livin’ here on earth,
Everybody wants to go to Heaven, but nobody wants to die.

Whether our fear is mainly our own physical death, eternal damnation by forever being separated from God, or the combination of the two, “the sting of death is sin.”
As Easter people we praise the Lord and affirm with Paul, “But thanks be to God, who give us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
