Being a part time Religious Studies teacher, I often find myself involved with rather big issues and certainly, the subject of death is never avoided.Pupils are sometimes surprised when I say " I have no fear of death but am terrified of dying." The concept is not all that difficult, however.
In other words, 'It is not the destination but the latter stages of the journey which I regard as the problem!'
When you have entered a relationship with God the Son, what could you possibly have to fear? - If you haven't however, fearing death makes perfect sense to me.
