Death! Afraid?

Our Verse: John 10:18 Jesus said, “...I have the authority to DIE when I want to and also I have authority to LIVE again.” (full verse below)
Lots of death all around us today...Looking at the picture above... it looks very final. People are fascinated, curious, but deep down, everyone is scared to die! People constantly seek ways to extend their lives and cheat death. But everybody “fears dying.”
Modern man tries to make death nicer. The body is whisked away for final disposition of the corpse. It's made up beautifully and put in a pretty box or... the body is burned and put in a can. None of this can banish our fear of dying.
How do you face the reality of your own death? You might say, “I'm young, I'm not gonna die!” From what's happening in our world today, there is no promise, death can come at any moment.
It would be nice to have an authority on death. Someone who really knows about life and death.
Curiously, there's only one human who has that authority. Curiously, He explained prior to his death that he would go there. Finally, His death occurred just like he said. And then, unbelievably...He came out of his grave! He took back his life. (John 10:18 below) This is attested as true by his friends and also five hundred witnesses who saw him alive after. Many saw him die, many saw him alive again.
Rely on someone who's been to death and back. Because He's alive...He has the power of an endless life, just the thing we want! A life that goes on after death- and no more fear! This week, billions of people celebrate the Resurrection the event that ends your fear of dying forever!

John 10:18 No one can take my life from me. I sacrifice it voluntarily. For I have the authority to lay it down when I want to and also to take it up again.
Heb 2:15 Only in this way could he set free all who have lived their lives as slaves to the fear of dying.
