“For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” Philippians 1:21. Death is a finality that so many dread, but there is something waiting for believers beyond this life – something better. During our physical life, we have opportunities to serve Jesus.  But one day, we will actually be in His presence.  Our fear will melt away when we see Him face to face.  For the Christian, the fear of death will give way to the fullness of life.
