Abstract

Living in Christ frees us from the power of death over us, from the ways fear of death and avoidance of it control and limit our lives, our relationships and our actions. So much of our frantic living in this culture is precisely such an absurd embrace of death, of triviality, of nothingness, under the cloak of wealth and plenty. When we live life in such a way, death’s sting is brutal. If we live differently, we will die differently, too. We will discover that life, and even death, is a miracle.
