Shayla: I am afraid of death.

Extended question: I am depressed more often than not. I am also a little scared. A month after my mother did what she was put here to do, she died. Her death is the one death that I have understood. Though part of me doesn't care if I live or die, I am scared of death.

Meforshim:

God is the source of life. He made universe out of nothing. He raised the dead. We can face death unafraid if God is with us (Psalm 23:4). The question is whether or not God is truly with you. If you are one of His children, death is not the end (Isaiah 26:19; John 5:28-29). In fact one of the reasons we refer to ourselves as the “Ransomed” is because the Lord promised to ransom us from the power of Death (Hosea 13:14).

God the Father sent God the Son to the world in order to rescue us from our own stupid rebellious sin. We must accept that free gift and use the power it grants wisely so that we may be known truly as the Ransomed (John 3:16-21). If we do – we will be resurrected at the second coming of Christ (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18). Truly – death will have lost its sting (Luke 20:36).
