Jesus is going where we can't go. That's why we glorify, give praise and thanks to him. He is going to die. We can't do dying. We've been dying our whole lives, and we don't do it very well.
Death encompasses all our fears and sense of losses.
We certainly fear death, the death of loved ones, as well as our own. People do die, but that is not the same as to say that they can die. He goes to die so that we don't have to die. I don't know exactly what the mechanics of this is, but I imagine it will be something like this when you see me drop dead on this side of heaven. I couldn't let this happen to you.
