It seems we have no power over death. We must stand back and watch death come and take others away and we cannot change what happens. It happens to everyone. The grim reaper mows down the famous and the infamous. The rich, the poor, the powerful, and the powerless all stand to be cut down by death.
Death is the great leveler of mankind.
Every human will face an end. If we look at death only in a secular way, death is a terrible tragedy for the person who dies as well as for friends and loved ones of the deceased. However, in the Christian faith, death is not the end but it is the beginning of a glorious new life. What irony there is in our faith, that the most tragic moment becomes the most glorious moment. If these words have been a blessing to you please forward them to a friend.
