When that happens it's a big problem for each of us. It takes away someone we love. Jesus gives us a way to deal with the problem. He faced the problem and He experienced the problem and He defeated the problem. Jesus faced the problem of death, so that when we do, our way might be made easier, and we might emerge on the other side of death, in God's eternal kingdom that Jesus calls eternal life.
Human effort accomplishes nothing.
So how we overcome the problem of death is to grab on to and cling to the message of Jesus. The very words I have spoken to you are spirit and life. Just before he died, a great preacher of a past generation spoke from his own experience. I walked out to where I live 5 miles from Portland, Oregon, and I looked across at that mountain that I love. I looked at the river in which I rejoice, and I looked at the stately trees that are always God's poetry to my soul.
