The Bridge Between Us

Send us your questions and reflections!

In this episode of Rediscovering Faith, we explore the deep-rooted fear of death that affects many individuals, with recent research revealing that one in five Americans experience thanatophobia, or the extreme fear of dying. The uncertainty of how and when death will come, along with questions about what happens after we die, can make this fear all the more profound.

Through a reflection on Matthew 28:1-10, the podcast delves into the powerful message of resurrection and the freedom that comes through Jesus Christ. The story of the angel's announcement of Jesus’ resurrection brings comfort, reminding us that death does not have the final say. The Bible teaches that while we may still face physical death, through Christ, we are promised a new life—one that is free from the fear of death.

We also reflect on the concept of being enslaved to sin and death, as presented in Romans 6, and how Jesus breaks the chains of both, offering us freedom and eternal life. Death, once our ultimate slavery, is transformed into a bridge between us and God, as Paul writes that "the last enemy to be destroyed is death."

Join us as we look at how the God of freedom offers hope, a hope that moves beyond the grave and into eternal life with Him. Whether you’re struggling with the fear of death or seeking to understand the power of resurrection, this episode will help you find peace in the truth that God holds both life and death in His hands.
