Winston Churchill was asked if he feared death?,he replied,'I am ready to meet my maker,and added, 'whether my maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter'. Death is that intruder that comes into our lives which we often try to ignor, but as we all know its enevitable,it will happen.What would you say if someone asked you,'are you afraid of death?.' You may be a Christian and you may be afraid of dying,when you shouldn't be afraid,I'm not condemning you for that,the wonderful thing is there are many assurances given to the the Christian,that all will be well .Yes you say I know that, but I'm still afraid,think about this,what has helped you live the Christian life?, the grace of God.So it is when you come to die He will give the grace that will overcome your fears,you will not have to cope in your own strength,our Lord tell's us that His grace is sufficent for us.But not only will He give us his grace to face death,He will also grant unto us a sense of His presence,we will not face it alone,think of those wonderful words from Psalm 23v 4,'Yea,though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,I will fear no evil; for thou art with me'.So even if you die alone you will not be alone ,the good shepherd the Lord Jesus Christ will be with you.
