We live in a world filled with many troubles confusion, pain, suffering, and loss. Every day we hear of diseases, accidents, natural disasters, and countless tragedies. These things trouble our hearts and often leave us asking difficult questions like, “Why do people die?” In truth, the world offers no lasting peace or security. No matter how rich, powerful, or famous a person is, death still comes.
The Bible makes it clear that in this world, we will face tribulations (John 16:33). These tribulations are part of the fallen nature of the world we live in. Death entered the world through sin (Romans 5:12), and because of that, all human beings must die. But this is not the end of the story.
Even though the world is full of sorrow, Jesus Christ has promised us peace not the kind the world gives, but His own peace (John 14:27).
