It is inescapable. Death is a disease that spares no one. Yet it does not seem right, nor the way things ought to be. It is sad, depressing, and often devastating. So we hate it, fear it, resist it, and never get used to it. In fact, death was not in God’s plan for us when He originally created the human race.
