Scripture:
“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me.” — Psalm 23:4
Reflection:
The ancient world feared death and the unseen. But through Christ, the Church declared that death has lost its sting. Those who die in Christ are not lost to us forever—they live in His presence. We are joined together with “all the company of heaven” each time we worship.
Our faith transforms fear into hope. We grieve, yes, but not as those without hope. The resurrection changes everything.
Application:
Bring your fears about death or loss before God. Name them honestly in prayer. Then, speak aloud this truth: “Because Jesus lives, I will live also.” (John 14:19)
Prayer:
God of life and resurrection, thank You that death does not have the final word. Calm my fears and strengthen my faith in Your victory. Help me live with eternal hope today. Amen.
