The world looks at Christians and must think that we are strange. The reason we are strange is because as the bride of Christ we look forward to death, the day we get to meet our Groom. God's beloved does not fear death, but rather is excited to go home where there is eternal rest.
To the eye of nature - death is dreadul, and the grave is repulsive. But to the eye of the faith, and as represented in the New Covenant - they are stripped of all that is dreadful and repulsive, so that an Apostle could say, "To die is to gain!" or "To die is best of all!"
How amazing is it that Jesus Christ our Savior tasted death for us so that we would not have to? Thinking about the sweet reunion and intimacy we will have with our Lord should make us all excited with overwhelming joy. Blessed will we be on the day we can exclaim that we have fought good fight and have kept the faith!
