Description

Ever been to a funeral? Ever touch the hand of the deceased, or kissed his/her forehead? Funerals aren’t as common as they once were, as cremation has taken the place of burial. Old practices of honoring the dead have given way to new customs. Ever wonder why? Might it be because we fear death?


In today’s passage, we hear of Jesus’ power to “heal” death. To overturn all the ugliness of death in the world, in us, in you, in me. And to replace it all with LIFE. We will hear him say in the face of death: “Do not fear; only believe.” He’s not just talking about funerals. But I wonder what he does mean. Let’s find out together!
