Death came suddenly in their midst. The mood changed immediately, and they made an emergency landing in Dallas, where they took the body of the women off the plane. We've have already talked about it, and we decided to give everybody free drinks all the way to Los Angeles, so they won't have to think about it. That's how many people deal with death. The Bible, however, suggests a better way of dealing with death, and our faith as Christians offers us hope.
Scripture sees death as a destroyer.
When my body and soul separate, I shall only be a shadow of what I once was. My body is a part of me. It is the apparatus of my self-expression, and without it, all my power to make things, to do things, to relate to other people is gone. So death, while not ending my existence, nullifies and in a real sense destroys it, but the Bible also says that death does not have the last word. As Christians, we believe that this world is not all that there is to our existence, and that after we die God will give us new bodies fit for heaven.
