For whom would you be willing to die? Death is not a topic we discuss often. It scares us. With good reason. Death scares us because death is unknown. We fear that it may bring us pain, suffering, or separation. So much so that we stop using the word. We say phrases like, “passed, gone to be with the Lord, moved on” instead. We distance ourselves from death in all sorts of ways. Today, we do not have that luxury, for today Jesus dies. And his death on the cross is filled with all the aspects of death we fear the most--pain, suffering, and separation.
