“Remember that you must die.” I am someone who grew up being terrified of death. I went to Sunday school when I was little and learned about Jesus, but then never really got the chance to go back to church until I was a preteen. I went with my Aunt, who would take me randomly with her to hyper charismatic revivals where they shouted about the Rapture, and I would sit in the pew terrified about being left behind. Even after I really began to follow Jesus at the age of 17, I still continued to be afraid of death and what would come after…and honestly, I still struggle with the uncertainty of how things come to pass once our soul has left our body…what it’s like when we pass from this life into the next.
