How then does one cope with this lingering fear of death? There are numerous suggestions offered by websites and gurus, and most of them involve keeping thoughts of death out of sight and out of mind. But is this a wise thing to do, knowing that death is inevitable, and that it is important to think about it and be prepared for it? To keep it out of our minds is to engage in a form of escapism, which not only distracts us from reality, but also distorts our perspective of things. Only those who know how to die well will know how to live well. To deny the reality of death is to deny the inevitable truth. Yet many people choose to do so.
What truths and experiences are most helpful?
What is the real solution? The real solution to our fear of death is Jesus Christ. There are two main reasons for this: Firstly, Jesus died for us. What did Jesus accomplish when He died in our place on the cross? He removed in our lives the curse that was associated with sin and death. By accepting the consequences of our sins on himself, He has removed the sting of death so that we need not feel terrorised or paralysed by it.
Secondly, Jesus rose from the dead. The fact that Jesus rose form the dead means that we do not have to fear death. Jesus has broken the curse of sin and transformed death; it is no longer a heavy tombstone sealed shut but a glorious doorway to eternal life. In the words of poet T. S. Eliot, "In my end is my beginning."
How would you minister to your elderly friends who are afraid of dying?
Jesus is our Companion. Those who entrust themselves to Him will enjoy His presence. He will become a lifelong and eternal Companion who will walk with us, even through death. "The later years take us into the heart of the central Christian paradox of death/resurrection" and the discovery of God's "winter grace".
Because Jesus has tasted death and returned from it, He is able to accompany us when our turn comes. We observe this precious truth when we read the well-known Psalm 23. The psalmist begins by telling his audience various things about God - how the Lord is his shepherd, who feeds his soul and helps him to walk in righteous paths. Then, when he comes to the "valley of the shadow of death" (Psalm 23:4, footnote), the grammar changes. Instead of speaking about God, he speaks to God: "I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me" (Psalm 23:4). The psalmist's audience is gone. Only the Lord Jesus remains with us in the shadow of death.
"We die alone, one at a time." Perhaps that is one reason why people fear death. To travel alone through the unknown can be a frightening prospect. How will you manage what you find on the other side? But when we have Jesus with us, we are not really alone. We have the One who really matters because He is the One who has been through it before, and has come out victorious. He is the perfect guide and companion through death. We need not fear when we have Him by our side.

"We die alone, one at a time." [97] Perhaps that is one reason why people fear death. To travel alone through the unknown can be a frightening prospect. How will you manage what you find on the other side? But when we have Jesus with us, we are not really alone. We have the One who really matters because He is the One who has been through it before, and has come out victorious. He is the perfect guide and companion through death. We need not fear when we have Him by our side.

How would you minister to your elderly friends who are afraid of dying? [1]
Jesus is our Companion. Those who entrust themselves to Him will enjoy His presence. He will become a lifelong and eternal Companion who will walk with us, even through death. "The later years take us into the heart of the central Christian paradox of death/resurrection" and the discovery of God's "winter grace". [96]

Because Jesus has tasted death and returned from it, He is able to accompany us when our turn comes. We observe this precious truth when we read the well-known Psalm 23. The psalmist begins by telling his audience various things about God - how the Lord is his shepherd, who feeds his soul and helps him to walk in righteous paths. Then, when he comes to the "valley of the shadow of death" (Psalm 23:4, footnote), the grammar changes. Instead of speaking about God, he speaks to God: "I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me" (Psalm 23:4). The psalmist's audience is gone. Only the Lord Jesus remains with us in the shadow of death.

"We die alone, one at a time." [97] Perhaps that is one reason why people fear death. To travel alone through the unknown can be a frightening prospect. How will you manage what you find on the other side? But when we have Jesus with us, we are not really alone. We have the One who really matters because He is the One who has been through it before, and has come out victorious. He is the perfect guide and companion through death. We need not fear when we have Him by our side.

PHOTO: "Dear Lord, we learn that there are numerous suggestions offered by websites and gurus, and most of them involve keeping thoughts of death out of sight and out of mind. But this is not a wise thing to do, knowing that death is inevitable, and that it is important to think about it and be prepared for it.
Lord, help us not to keep it out of our minds because it is to engage in a form of escapism, which not only distracts us from reality, but also distorts our perspective of things. Only those who know how to die well will know how to live well. To deny the reality of death is to deny the inevitable truth.
We pray for your help to realise that the real solution to our fear of death is Jesus Christ. Firstly, Jesus died for us. He removed in our lives the curse that was associated with sin and death. By accepting the consequences of our sins on himself, He has removed the sting of death so that we need not feel terrorised or paralysed by it.
Secondly, Jesus rose from the dead. The fact that Jesus rose form the dead means that we do not have to fear death. Jesus has broken the curse of sin and transformed death; it is no longer a heavy tombstone sealed shut but a glorious doorway to eternal life. ‘In my end is my beginning.’
Lord, help us to minister to our elderly friends who are afraid of dying, by letting them know that Jesus is our Companion. Those who entrust themselves to Him will enjoy His presence. He will become a lifelong and eternal Companion who will walk with us, even through death. ‘The later years take us into the heart of the central Christian paradox of death/resurrection’ and the discovery of God's ‘winter grace’.
Lord, because Jesus has tasted death and returned from it, He is able to accompany us when our turn comes. Help us to be able to follow the psalmist when we comes to the ‘valley of the shadow of death’ and able to speak to God: ‘I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me". Let the Lord Jesus remains with us in the shadow of death.
Lord, help us to overcome the fear of having to die alone, one at a time. Because to travel alone through the unknown can be a frightening prospect. We may be unable to manage what we find on the other side.
We pray that we have Jesus with us, so that we are not really alone. Then we can have the One who really matters because He is the One who has been through it before, and has come out victorious. He is the perfect guide and companion through death. We need not fear when we have Him by our side.
Through Lord Jesus Christ we pray. Amen!"
