Killing Death

I noticed the other day that the Church talks so much (especially around Easter) about the idea of Jesus "defeating death", that it almost makes it lose its meaning. Overcoming death is a concept more complex and massive than I think we're even capable of understanding.

Some psychologists theorized that every fear or phobia can be traced back in some way to a fear of death. It's this big inescapable monster that will eventually consume us all.

But the Good News of Christ is that death, though imminent, is nothing to be feared nor is it the end.

Here is a great video put out by LifeChurch.tv featuring the poetry of David Bowden, who beautifully describes the impact of death and the victory of Christ over the grave.
