Hope in the Face of Death

How will we find courage in the face of death? The Stoics say “Toughen up, keep it together, there’s no point in grieving”. The modern rationalists say “There’s nothing bad about death! It’s natural and neutral!”. Our passage exposes these approaches as deeply flawed and deceptive. We will see how Jesus offers us a tangible, plausible and incredible hope, that gives us courage to look death straight in the eye.
