What Happens When We Die?
We’ve been exploring your questions in these wintery Sundays. This weekend we’ll tackle the question: “What happens when we die?” It’s a question that some of us shy away from, some fear, some are super curious about, and some have even taken time to study. Here is the thing though, we don’t really know. None of us will until death comes to each of us.
In scripture, this question is something that those authors are both curious about and seemingly, yearn for. “For here we have no lasting city, but we are looking for the city that is to come.” -Hebrews 13:14. We also find that some early followers of Jesus were confident of their eternal home: “But our citizenship is in heaven, and it is from there that we are expecting a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.” -Philippians 3:20
